Clear out the clutter! Leave room for life!
While it is easy to say, it is much more challenging to actually make it happen. Really I can imagine everyone would desire to have a lifestyle where everything item is in its place,easy to find and accessible. Where its easy to vacuum, dust and mop in the first hour of a day and then move on to the things you really love to do.
Getting started is the hardest part, when you pick up that first item and say to yourself wow i haven't used this n three years, i can certainly give it to goodwill, then you are on a good start. But don't loose heart on the next thought; while trying to throw items into the 'donate' box you think to yourself but what if i need it, maybe i can find a reason to use it, but i paid 'x' amount of dollars for it, and any other excuses.
The key is this: if you haven't used it in a year + and you don't find it beautiful or useful enough to look at it everyday, then allow this item to be used by someone else.
The result, if you can take these steps maybe just once a day, in a year you can be less over 350 items which have been cluttering up your life. I am going for it! I'll keep you updated on my progress!
You have clutter in your video? Where? Your place makes mine look like a junkyard!
ReplyDeleteI struggle with clutter every weekend ( like now ). I can't seem to get rid of stuff. Even when snowed in and forced to deal with it, I still seem to accumulate a wave of random things that are not easy to get rid of. I've found that creating new space and decluttering only means I have more room to store other stuff. But I have become incredibly organized. Organized clutter is a mastery of it's own. ~
I've been doing pretty good with the process! One or two bags per week go out to the salvation army.
