How can Decluttering help you?
Decluttering is a proactive and positive way to reduce clutter
and organize what you keep.
Decluttering does not mean minimal.
It means making decisions about what is special or useful to you
now.
As the designer William Morris suggested in the nineteenth
century,"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to
be useful or believe to be beautiful".
Clutter Management has a
positive focus. Identify your current needs and concentrate on
the space you have.
Choose what is important to you and how you wish to
display or store these items. Create a balance between what is
necessary and what is cherished. Remove those items that are
unwanted. Find a good home for things. Recycle, sell or donate.
Think of clutter as items which serve no purpose for
you right now.
What do you do in each room?
What is essential?
What do you no longer need?
Decluttering
is also about maintaining a reduced clutter approach so that
clutter is kept under control. Enjoy the reorganized space that
you have created. Continued recycling is of course great for
anything that can be recycled. The more useful items that we can
keep from filling landfill sites the better!
Shopping habits can be identified and changed where you feel
comfortable. Keeping the clutter away means recognizing how the
clutter builds up.
Do you have things you can't find?
How does the clutter make you feel?
