How cluttered is your bedroom? Hoarding scale 1- 9 in picture form

[Anonymous]

Is there a scale for cars? I've seen some insane cars, with stuff piled through a filled front passenger seat - and they were obviously not moving stuff.

It's like doing a survey on depression and asking how many times a week you shower and put on clean clothes. Of course it's easy to do every day if you aren't suffering from a crippling unbalance in your brain, and you might feel aghast at people who say it's a struggle to do once a week, but you're judging yourself on a scale not meant for you,

A 2-3 could be a huge accomplishment and a good sign for someone who is recovering from hoarding. A 2-3 might just be major laziness if you're messy but not a hoarder.

Thanks for this perspective!

My side of our room is a 1.5, not as clean as a 1 but not as messy as a 2.

My DH's side is easily a 3/4. He's a slob

# 1. Always. I am very much a minimalist. I have only bed, two nightstands, one side lamp, one medium size dresser and large standing mirror. One painting on the wall. Never any clothes outside of the closet or laundry room. I would not be able to sleep in the room with the stuff around.

I am a 1 throughout my house. My bedrooms are a 1.2 by midweek. I host a lot, I have house guests almost every month. My yard is well maintained, my garage is pretty clean too...


But here is my dirty little secret. I have a storage room that has everything that I do not need in the house - and I have been putting stuff there for a number of years. That is a solid 5 or 6. I will need at least a week to go through that stuff and clean that room out. It is just mayhem and foolishness there.
