Starting to declutter and simplify your life doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here are 10 easy ways to get started and create a happy, organized life.
1
Create a deadline for yourself by scheduling a donation pick-up. Knowing that a truck is arriving in a couple of weeks and a charity is relying on your things so they can help others is a great way to motivate yourself to take action.
2
A “time out” bin is a great way to test the decluttering waters and eventually have less clutter. Just put anything in a box or bin that you’re not using and give yourself a deadline by which you have to use it.
3
Instead of waiting for the huge chunks of time you think you need to start and end a project, just work consistently in small chunks.
4
The last thing you want to do when you’re starting on your decluttering journey is jump right into a huge space like a basement, attic, or other room in your home where you tend to shove things and forget them.
5
The most important thing to remember when decluttering is to believe in yourself! Encourage yourself! This will help you stay motivated and focused.
