GOAL: Clean and clutter-free car

It's quite obvious that I have a goal of becoming clutter-free by getting rid of what I don't use or love, that's why I have this blog.  Another goal I have, which is ongoing, is to keep a clutter-free car.  I've been working on this for about five weeks or so, I didn't pay attention to when I started this goal.

There are different reasons I want to do this.  Some are:

  • I don't like seeing "stuff" around my car, it's stressful.
  • A clean and clutter-free car feels so nice, and I drive a lot!
  • I'm tired of being embarrassed when someone suddenly has to ride with me and I need to excuse my clutter and move things around for them.
  • I use it for work at least three times a week and sometimes unexpectedly! (see above)
  • There will be less for a person to steal, if they happen to target my car (personal experience).
As if the reasons above weren't good enough, one of the main reasons I started this goal was because I really want to get a new (used) car, and the one I wanted was a luxury car.  You NEVER see messy or cluttered luxury cars, which means I would have to change my ways.  The reason I said "wanted" above is because I've been leaning towards a different make of car which isn't luxury...but the goal remains, regardless.

To top that off, a couple of weeks ago I was searching YouTube for a video on female car essentials and found one done by Maria Menunous (click to watch it).  She mentions in this video that someone who interviewed her wanted to look in her car, reason being, "...because a messy car means a messy life..."  It's true, and I don't want to come off as having a messy life.

Can I reach this goal?  I think so, been doing pretty well since I focused on it.  Yesterday I vacuumed it and even lightly Bisselled the dark colored carpets and seats for the first time since I bought the car in 2007!
