The Best Tip for a Clutter-Free Life
Posted by SeekingSimplicity on May 3, 2010.Own Less.
Okay, easier said than done but owning less is truly the ultimate answer to living a clutter-free life.
The need for storage containers, baskets, and organizing items will just add to your clutter. Getting rid of items that you don’t need eliminates the need to organize them. De-cluttering can be a time consuming and frustrating process. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
- Start with one room
- Make a pile of everything you do not use, need, or want. This will be the hardest part. Be honest. Have you used this item in the past year? Would you take this item with you if you were moving to your dream house?
- Go through the room again. A second pass will often lead to another pile of items to get rid of.
- Throw away the trash and put the usable items you have gathered in your car and take them to the Goodwill or other donation location. Most Goodwill’s make house calls for furniture or other large items that are hard to transport. Contact your local Goodwill to find out whether or not pick-up service is available in your community.
- Stop bringing items in your home to help prevent clutter.
- De-clutter regularly
Organization containers can help contain visual clutter but before placing an item in the containers consider if you really need it and how often you will use the item.
