Drowning in Our Possessions: The American Clutter Crisis
Do you feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of stuff in your home? You're not alone. Americans are facing a weight crisis-not of bodies, but of possessions. Most of us have accumulated far more than we can effectively manage, creating stress and chaos in our living spaces. Professional organizers Judi Culbertson and Marj Decker have built careers helping clients ranging from the frantically embarrassed to those unwilling to part with even a bent hanger. Their insights reveal that most people spend their first forty years enthusiastically accumulating and the next forty trying to shed the excess. We start with little, gratefully accept hand-me-downs, then shop until we're buried alive in possessions that consume our time just managing them. The wake-up call often comes unexpectedly-like Judi's epiphany during a beach vacation where the rental house contained only essentials, allowing her family to relax instead of managing stuff. For the first time, she knew exactly where everything was and came home determined to maintain that "vacation house feeling."
