Step one: Declutter
Not sure where to start?
Sort all items – Like with Like
Hint: If you are in a room with clothing, collect all clothing in the home to sort
Reduce redundancy
Tip# 1: Unsure about an item due to an emotional pull
· Gifts given to you creating a level of guilt – think of it as you no longer need this item but know that there is someone else who does.
· Can take pictures of items that mean something to you as a way to reduce the size but keep the sentiment. This takes up a lot less space and you still have the keepsake.
Tip# 2: Effective strategy – 3-question formula.
- Would I buy this tomorrow?
- Do I love it?
- Have I used it in the last 12 months?
Tip# 3: Get rid of donation and throw away piles immediately
Having these piles around for any time will halt the feeling of achievement and be replaced with fatigue and overwhelm.
Find a home for each item.
Question: Why does Clutter happen?
Items that are collected that either don’t have a purpose or we don’t have a place to put it. There are usually feelings around these items that represent guilt, resentment, and avoidance.
