Despite spending hours cleaning and organizing, you still find the stuff overflowing. It's time you start de-cluttering your Home.
De-cluttering is what I am doing from last few months after Minimalism struck me. I live in an apartment having 3 bedrooms, a living room and a Kitchen cum Dining Room.
Oh, I miss 3 restrooms. You will say, how does it matter? But it does.
The more area you have, more time and energy it takes to De-clutter.
Start at 1 corner to cover 1 room and then move to 2nd room.
Start collecting junk or unused things in different bags.1 for plastic waste, 1 for paper waste, 1 for electronic waste, 1 for clothes, 1 for shoes and for other miscellaneous objects.
Do not spend more than 1 hour to De-clutter an area.
Deal with the removed stuff right away! Throw, Donate, Recycle.
De-cluttering is not simply re-arranging things but removing unused things.
- Remove empty bottles and boxes
- Prefer not to use storage boxes as it will only welcome the clutter
- Remove expired products and medicines
- Remove duplicate things
- Remove the distractions.
- Remove unnecessary wall hangings.
- Do not keep the small thing loose.
De-cluttering is a process and not a one-time thing. Make it a weekly or fortnightly ritual.
