Clutter is something that I absolutely hate. It drives me up the wall.

It depends on where the clutter is. If it's around my sink, leave it.

If it's in the living room, clean it.

Sometimes it drives me nuts.

You know, every drawer is a junk drawer.

No closet has any kind of organization or purpose.

Life happens and so clutter happens. How do you feel about clutter?

Today on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly we'll be tackling that topic and

offer some ways that you and your family can bring order into your home.

Thanks for joining us.

I'm John Fuller.

So the question is, John, are you a neat freak?

Am I a neat freak?

I think I used to aspire to be one but life has kind of made it impossible so now I'm a piles freak I have lots of piles I kind of dump it in my home office even at my office here, but I'm not a neat freak now. I always you know I tend to

favor neatness yes but I don't know if I'm a freak I guess I'd have to ask Jean

do you think I'm a neat freak? Probably when it comes to the garage,

but I'm looking forward to today's discussion

because I think it'll help define my attitude toward neatness.

I think people that are overly neat can be compulsive. So what is enough? I mean, when is neatness enough? And we're going to talk about that today. There's so much guilt, especially for moms with busy schedules that have a

lot going on. What is enough? How clean does my house have to be? And we want to talk

about just the whole management of the household and what I love is the

sense at least in our house and Jean does a great job with this is just Shalom.
