Many folks who watch the popular reality TV show “hoarders” do so with an attitude that is equal parts horrifying and gratifying. It’s horrible to think that some people can live in such deplorable conditions but it is also gratifying to say “I’m not that bad.” While it is true that your house might not be stacked to the rafters with trash preventing you from simply walking from room to room that doesn’t mean you don’t have your own budding hoarding tendencies to contend with. If you want to avoid becoming a full-fledged hoarder then you should think about why you’re holding onto your junk.

Here’s a simple rule of thumb: if you haven’t used something within six months then get rid of it. Now, obviously that doesn’t apply to all things like keepsakes, mementos, book collections or other items that are of value. But it’s a good barometer to measure against things like an old computer monitor or television, clothing you don’t wear or even something like a standup piano or pool table. If those things have been stuffed into a closet or just collecting dust then you really need to think about getting rid of them.

Then there is what is referred to as accidental hoarding. This is when you hang onto things with good intentions but in reality you never have a plan to use it. This could mean all those horrible Christmas sweaters you’ve received over the years or the stacks and stacks of magazines you had great hopes of reading someday. It’s time for a reality check: are you ever going to read those magazines or wear those sweaters? If not then toss them out.

Chronic hoarding also could mean you making excuses for your out-of-control storage habits. For instance, it’s easy to shove boxes, old furniture and other big items into a spare room rather then deal with throwing them out. That spare room becomes the dumping ground for all your unused junk. It won’t be long before that spare room looks like the entire home of a hoarder.
