Organization experts give advice at Cranberry Library talk
CRANBERRY TWP — Mountains of clutter inside a home can make even simple cleaning tasks daunting.
A presentation Tuesday night by two professional organizers at the Cranberry Township Public Library about “How to Deal with Clutter Overwhelm” sought to clear away some of the complexity from addressing the buildup of “stuff” inside a home.
The event, led by Jill Yesko of Discover Organizing and Jackson Township resident Vickie Dellaquila of Organization Rules, was attended by more than 60 people and provided advice on what to do when lack of time time, scattered paper or other stressors are piling up.
Yesko and Dellaquila identified four factors as major contributors to clutter: paper, time, inherited clutter and chronic disorganization or hoarding behaviors.
Putting the pieces together to deal with clutter can be difficult, they said, and different strategies work better for different people. Parts of everyday life, whether serious issues or more regular responsibilities, also can get in the way.
