Decluttering Someone Else's Space

One of the challenges of decluttering is about decluttering ‘your own space.’ It is so easy to begin to decluttering someone else’s space.

It is a battle! And it goes on and on.

Where do you begin? Do you still have clutter? Chances are that you will have a long project getting your own clutter decluttered. What is good about this is that while you are working at decluttering your own things, you won’t have time to tell someone else to work on their mess.

• Decluttering someone else’s space is a very delicate situation and can ruin a relationship. Make sure that you get some perspective on it. You do not want to unkindly criticize your loved one’s clutter. You will do well to think about this for some days and pray about it. Communicate it in a positive manner. Let the person(s) know that “we’re all in this together.” Artistic and highly skilled people are very often super clutter-bugs.

• Make sure that you communicate that you are not trying to change your loved one. Be respectful. This decluttering situation could spoil a perfectly good relationship and make things worse if it is not handled tactfully. This person is not inadequate or inferior. Let them know that you want them to feel good and positive about their environment and able to have guests over.
