What Does Your Clutter Say About Your Personality?

· Purging · , ,

Everyone has clutter, even the most organized person.  The reasons behind the clutter; however, are different for each person. What does your clutter say about your personality?  Are you…

1. UNABLE TO MAKE A DECISION?
Many people hold onto things/clutter because it’s easier then deciding whether or not to keep it or where it should go.  In fact, an entire organizing industry has arisen to meet the demands of this group.  Often, they’ll label and contain instead of eliminating.

2. A PROCRASTINATOR?
This group of people constantly put off sorting/purging their things because it’s not fun or enjoyable to them. They would rather do ANYTHING other then pare down possessions, so they never get around to it.

3. EXTREMELY SENTIMENTAL?
This personality type thinks EVERYTHING is worth saving…every scribble from their child’s nursery school days, every photo (even blurry ones), every dish, and every item of clothing.

4. SEVERELY TIME CHALLENGED?
Many people don’t have difficulty making decisions and they’re not procrastinators or overly sentimental.  This group of people is so stretched for time, they simply can’t get it done.  When they do have a block of time, they easily and happily de-clutter.  It just doesn’t happen often enough.
