My house looks like a garage. My backyard is a junkyard. How on Earth is there such a thing as hassle free cleanouts? Have you seen my backyard lately?
If you aren’t too pleased with how your space looks like either at home or the office, you might want to stick around.
When you think of cleanouts, “Daunting” is the word that comes to mind. ‘Frustrating’, ‘tiresome’ and so on. Personally, thinking about it is exhausting. I chicken out right before the whistle blows. I make up my mind every weekend to do a thorough sweep out but I never get to it. I can’t help but consider the fatigue, pain, and hours involved to clean up. I could be watching a game, reading a book, or tidying up work instead.
I’d bet you feel the same way. If not worse sometimes…
Certainly, there are people who love to clean. But most may feel like me. People like me just can’t bring ourselves to do it. No matter how much I try, it never happens. Not because we don’t want to. I like to assume that the former just have so much time on their hands or do it to earn a living as they can be quite expensive too.
As daunting as the word or thought of it may be, cleanouts are needed. Nobody wants to come across as dirty. Nobody likes their homes looking like a dump.
To joggle between cleaning and our other important engagements isn’t easy. We are occupied with so many tasks that we barely have time for ourselves.
But it’s actually quite simple!
Quick question before we proceed, why exactly don’t we toss out the trash? Why do we keep piling up stuff we don’t really need?
Yes that’s right. We really don’t know how to let go. It’s one of the hardest things to do.
It’s simple psychology. Look at every “Junk” item you currently have. We are somehow attached to them. We build some sort of memory around the items in our homes and offices. That’s why!
Here is an instance, you give a 3-year old a stuffed animal to play with or to help her sleep better at night. They get very attached to it almost immediately and would go into a frenzy if they were separated from it, even for a minute. They want to go to school with it, eat it and even bathe with it.
When that child is all grown, they can’t seem to let go of their “stuffed, furry friends”. Why would you throw out the toy that made you sleep better when there were monsters under your bed?
Doesn’t feel like the right thing to do.
Clearly, letting go is one of the hardest hurdles to cross. We, humans, aren’t just wired for rubbish removal or tossing out trash. We would rather hold on to our stuff.
Take a few seconds to look around your home and office. There is tons of junk we should be throwing out without giving it a second thought: appliances, clothes, shoes, boxes, the list is endless.
Even our electrical devices aren’t left out. Tons of files take up our storage space. We just can’t bring ourselves to let go.
However, you just don’t toss out junk or delete files at the snap of a finger. It’s quite understandable that you just might need those items after they are gone. You just can’t tell when that old scarf might come in handy.
But just how important are these items? How much do we really like them? Let’s paint a quick picture. Get your brushes.
Imagine you were a parent of two (well most already are) and you have an important meeting; the big break you need in your career, but you have to drop the kids off at school. It’s a few more minutes before departing and you have discovered that your kids can’t find their uniforms (the possibilities are endless, let your imagination run wild). Well, first you’d be furious with your kids and then you’d probably never make it in time for the meeting.
That is what Junk Removal California does. It creates stress, leaving you more frustrated, and cursing uncharacteristically each time you bump into it.
Junk is like debt- choking down on you until they are disposed of.
Reasons you should clean out your junk now:
- Clearing out promotes a clearer mind; Nothing beats the feeling of knowing what to do. You are much calmer and collected. You know where to look. You know where to go. You know you’ll find it right there. You feel in control. It’s a different ball game when you just can’t find anything, isn’t it? You’d be surprised at how much clarity you’ll have even under immense pressure.
- You do more in less time; That’s right. Being organized is the smart way to go. No matter the task. You can be more productive in a small amount of time. If you need a file, pen, or that special jacket etc you’d know where to find it quickly.
- Less Junk gives More Space; You’d be amazed at the amount of space you can have by just taking out that junk. You can bring in other essential items, do your home workouts, and you’d be saving thousands of dollars if you had been thinking of moving into a “spacious” house. Simply do an appliance removal today or a trash disposal tomorrow and enjoy a breath of fresh air.
- Clean outs help your general well-being; Psychiatrist in Oak Lawn IL, Dr. RianRowles says, “… Too much clutter can cause tremendous stress and fatigue. When things take too long to find or can’t be found, stress levels rise and so does your risk of illnesses”. Taking out those needless items from your home and office would be an immense relief to your health. Ants, rats, mice, scorpions, millipedes, roaches, and centipedes prefer to live in clutters: where they can’t be found. The presence of these pests are potentially harmful to you and your home. They would nibble on your food and other home accessories like wires, especially if they are within reach. These infestations require you to spend a lot on pesticides and fumigation services. By moving a few things out and doing a thorough cleanup, you’d be doing yourself a great favor. You’d be taking out many of their hideouts and saving costs.
Now you badly want to clean out, don’t you?
Here are a few things you should know before you start your clean outs;
Classify your waste; Before taking out your junk, be sure to know what goes where and why. Thoroughly identify what needs to be tossed out and what is recyclable. You don’t want to lose some really useful items in the name of “junk”.
Reuse and Recycle; Because something is outdated or isn’t serving its supposed function anymore doesn’t make it junk. At least not yet. Check and see if these items can be reused for other important stuff around your house or office. You don’t want to be tossing out money too in the process. Say you use a bottle as a makeshift flower vase. Be creative and organised about your junk.
Dispose accordingly; After identifying and classifying your waste, dispose of them appropriately. You don’t want to dispose of that old can of gasoline you found in the garage anywhere. Some junk is more hazardous than others. Ensure to get rid of it properly. Surely, nobody wants to get injured while cleaning out.
Now, can your Commercial Clean-outs California be stress Free?
Heck yes, clean outs can be hassle free and rewarding. So, here are six steps to try;
Set Goals and be realistic; If your backyard is as messed up as mine, you might want to start out with this. Set a benchmark for what you’re going to do. The thrill of accomplishment would surely outweigh the pains of cleaning. Basically, I’m saying you should have a plan. If businesses could have plans to clear off old stocks, then you should have plans to clear off your old stocks too. Having a plan isn’t enough. It has to be achievable.
My backyard is quite discouraging. Suppose I set the goal to throw out a piece of junk from it every day, before you know it, all junk will be gone.
Have Metrics; Call it a mantra if you will. It’s a standard you set for yourself. You should have a metric for what is waste and what isn’t. For instance, “Any clothes that no longer fits gets donated”. Having these kinds of metrics help YOU determine what is or should be YOUR definition for junk. You never know when you may need it. Just because your neighbor throws out an old flat screen TV doesn’t make your black and white TV outright junk. Properly identify what you do and don’t need. It may take a while but you’ll know it.
Throw them!; You just have to do it. There is no easier way to say it. Take that old shoe box you thought you’d need and just throw it out. Remember to classify them like we talked about. You don’t want to be putting a box in a round hole. As soon as you have identified an item as junk, let it go without hesitating. You might also need to keep tabs on where they go; hold a garage sale for instance: you’d be doing others some good by giving.
Time your clean outs; Schedule a meeting with your junk and fire them. You possibly can’t do all the cleaning in one day. Give a time frame to how long you think you can go on cleaning. Do not rush it all at once. After all your backyard didn’t just pile up at once, or did it? I suggest 15-30 minutes. Whatever works for you.
No regrets box; Because we can be quite hesitant when we see the garbage sack, you can try boxing, shelving or storing away for a while. This approach would help you to see just how “Important” those items are. If you don’t need them in the next 2- 3 months, then you can turn it to the garbage without regrets.
Or you can take the easier way out….
That’s right! There’s an easier way to get rid of junk.
