Decluttering

Decluttering is a great way to simplify your living space and reduce the stress of excess stuff.

1. Start small: begin with a small area or category, like a drawer or a closet, to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
2. Sort and categorize: divide items into categories such as keep, donate, recycle and trash.
3. Set a schedule
4. Be honest with yourself – do I need or love an item? If not, consider letting it go.
5. The goal is to live with your things that mean the most to you.  
6. Priorities change – what is important today may not be important tomorrow.
7. Store the items which were “most important” into memorabilia.
