Is that “clutter” in your kitchen, office, closet, living room or car —the clutter you keep putting off—a minor annoyance you’re avoiding dealing with or a major cry for help?

Take this short quiz from Erma Bombeck’s Cope book from 1979 from a class she took on organization.

• Are candles in your house a touch of romanticism or the major source of light because you forgot to pay your utility bill?
• Are you still living out of moving boxes when you have been in your home…
  • Five years
  • Ten years
  • Fifteen years or more
• Can you put your hands on the Christmas cards you bought for half price in January?
• Is your mail stored in one spot or do you use it as a dustpan when you sweep the kitchen floor?
• Do you put groceries away after each visit to the store or use them directly from the bags?
• Do you often misplace things you use regularly—like door keys, handbags, glasses or children?
• Do you forget important occasions like birthdays, dental appointments, rabies shots for the dog or Christmas?
• Can you open your closet door without hurting yourself?
• Would you feel comfortable letting guests wander through your house unattended?
• Do you accomplish what you want to in a given day or are you always asking “What day is this?”

If you answered ‘yes’ to 2 or more of these questions, it’s probably time to call in professional help from a Certified Professional Organizer.
