Are you lost in your own clutter?
You're not alone. US Material Wealth Leads to Clutter.
Is it a result of our evolutionary past? Are we compelled to get more and more stuff and never throw anything out because some day we might need it?

There are even groups of Clutters Anonymous in 50 cities.
But if you're ashamed to bring someone home like Karen Lowe, then it's time to hire a professional. If your friends can't recommend anyone, try this link to find an organizer near you who belongs to the National Association of Professional Organizers.
