Visual Overload<\/h2>\n

I don’t function very well if I see too many things out and around the house. I enjoy my days and time better when things are put away. I think I suffer from visual overload. My condition has improved over the years as I have worked on being at peace with toys scattered on the floor. I am happy to report that the children no longer have to put everything away before every meal is served! One of the ways I minimize the visual\u00a0jumble of stuff\u00a0is by using clutter catchers.<\/p>\n

What are clutter catchers?<\/h2>\n

They are containers that can be decorative and purchased at a store or they can be recycled items that are already in your home just waiting to catch some clutter.<\/p>\n

Here are some examples that may already be in your home: baby wipe holders, shoeboxes, oatmeal canisters,\u00a0plastic kitchen food containers, sturdy cardboard boxes that were previously used in packaging an item, and plastic cups from restaurants.<\/p>\n

Hospital Bins<\/h3>\n

Hospital bins hold diapers, wipes, ointment, and a onesie.<\/p>\n
