Hah. The one little corner at the edge of my kitchen. And I do it to myself. 😅😅 I finally just accepted that it was my “go to” spot for the small “reference” things and the random things. Like they say if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. But really it was just acknowledging that this was the space I naturally gravitated to for such things (or maybe more like go with your own “flow” as opposed to where your head “thinks” such things “should” live). Well anyways. I just set up a small organizer little desk/box thing there. So now I can somewhat hide it and give it a boundary limit. And make it look more tidy. It’s just where I basically keep things I often need. Budget book. Pad of paper. Pen. Reading glasses. Lip balm. Pending coupons I may use. Receipts. Etc. The fridge is also the other half of my “command center” but that one is basically just a magnetic grocery/shopping list pad and another sheet of paper to keep up with current rental money/loan stuff. Along with a little locker pen holder for a pen and a sharpie and chalk marker. It’s also my kind of “random things to put away” place. Or the temp holding place right after shopping. Since I “accepted it” it’s easier to deal with now. I usually will tidy it up a few times a week now and keep it decent looking. I now just have accepted that for whatever reason, I don’t want to use my desk for all that anymore. And I let that be ok for myself. Lol.
Yes! Those little areas are like magnets! I think every home does indeed have them. I’ve found that as long as I can get the areas under control quickly, they don’t bother me as much when they get out of control for a couple days! But if I knew it would just stay piled up and unorganized for a long time, it would stress me out! ❤️
@@ArrowHillCottage Lol. True. And I guess tho since getting rid of so much crap, not letting it pile up so badly is just so much easier for me to do now…compared to before. lol.
Clutter area... every single flat surface in our house. The ottoman in the living room used to be clutter free, but it had a metal thing set on it recently. Although I had the cabinet in the laundry room cleaned off, my darling wife recently piled a bunch of stuff IN the laundry sink. I'm fighting a losing battle...
Kitchen bar area! Drives me crazy when everyone puts their stuff there when they come in the door! I have tried putting a basket there and they still won't put their stuff in it!
Hey guys! Do you have that one 'clutter spot' in your home that drives you nuts?!

Ha ha! Just keep working on it! Flat surfaces are the worst clutter magnets!
Paper clutter on dining room table if I don’t sort right away & stack papers instead 🤪
Those pesky papers will get a person every time!
Great tips! I can’t tell you what my worst cluttered room is because my husband won’t let me tell you!!!🤫😂
Ha ha! Well okay then!
Kitchen island and dining table
I think those are common clutter collectors! Large horizontal surfaces are totally prone to clutter unfortunately! Thanks for watching!
The kitchen island! 😬
Oh yes, that seems to be a popular one!
Kitchen bar area! Drives me crazy when everyone puts their stuff there when they come in the door! I have tried putting a basket there and they still won't put their stuff in it!
Ha ha! Right?! Every house has ‘the drop place!’
