Instructions
For Decluttering
Your Home
One of the most frequent questions about organizing and
decluttering your home is the process. How do you make the decisions to get rid
of things? While there are many tips and tricks you can use to ease the
streamlining process, it all comes down to some easy steps:
Before
Sorting:
1. Set yourself a goal “I am going to sort half this room
before bed” or “I’m going to streamline the contents of this one box.”
2. Figure out broad categories and where you are going sort
each category into.
3. Sort your stuff, moving systemically through the space, and
not bouncing back and forth.
4. Purge what you don’t want.
5. Stop when you’ve reached your goal.
After
sorting:
1. Take one category and if you can, move it out of the space
in which you are working, and into a clear space. This allows you to
concentrate on the one category and not have to face the rest all at once.
2. Ask yourself two questions: Need it? Love it? If you can’t
say yes to either then get rid of it. Life is too short to fill out our spaces
with things we’re indifferent to.
3. Take the things you are not going to keep out of the house
as quickly as possible. The longer they stay the more likely they will come
back into the house.
4. Give yourself rewards – for example out of fifty childhood
books you’ve never reread but have kept for sentimental reasons, keep five and
store them in a place of honor where you can see them and appreciate the
memories associated with them.
I hope this information is useful.
