How Do I Start Decluttering?
People often ask, how do I start decluttering? There is, of course, no magic formula. What I typically tell people is that you need to assess your individual situation and come up with a plan. No two people are alike, and no two decluttering plans are alike. There are, though, several common ways to get going, and we will discuss them here.
Declutter Like You’re Paying Someone To Move Your Stuff
People pay their hard-earned money every day to store things they no longer need. Think about it. You buy extra hangers because you have so many clothes, half of which you never wear. You keep old toys in a playroom when what you really need is an office. I say: Get rid of everything you don’t need like you were paying to move it.
Hanger Hack - Zero Effort Decluttering
Most likely, if you haven’t worn something in the past six months, you won’t wear it again. It’s time to let it go: donate. And, donate with joy. A quick, easy hanger hack is to turn all your hangers backwards. As you wear an item, turn it forward. After six months, you’ll be able to see what you wear and what you don’t. A simple and effective hack.
Don’t Put It Down, Put It Away
By putting things away instead of putting them down, we are able to stop clutter in its tracks. Clutter tends to accumulate when we do not put things back in their designated spot or they do not have a spot to live in. Everything needs to have a home so it has a space to accommodate it. That trick reduces clutter and disorganization.
Closet Clutter Chaos
Our main mission in the decluttering and organizing process is to allow you to be your best self, optimize what you already have, and make life easier and less chaotic. When we remain in the present, instead of worrying about the past or the future, we are in better touch with ourselves. This is great for our mental health.
Why Do I Feel So Overwhelmed By Clutter?
Not only does clutter take up space in your home, it takes up energy. Lots of it. Clutter gets in the way of moving forward in life and makes you feel “stuck” because it’s always pulling you down. It needs attention. It begs for it. When clutter gets this heavy, it’s time to make a change. It’s time to declutter.
