Simply De-cluttering - Part Three

Depending on how much needs to be tackled in your home, the de-cluttering process is unlikely to be accomplished in a week. 

First of all, you need to know what clutter is. Only you know what your clutter is – what looks like clutter to one person is someone else’s treasure! 
In general, though, clutter is anything in your life that you don’t love, use or hold dear – or anything in the wrong place in your home.

To start de-cluttering your stuff, you will need five boxes/baskets/bags with the following labels:

·         Other rooms

·         Sell

·         Donate

·         Recycling

·         Rubbish

Pick one area – this could be a whole room or, if that is too overwhelming, a cupboard or drawer.

Start with your chosen room/area and don’t move on until you have finished – don’t get sidetracked!

For every item that you find, ask yourself whether you want to keep it or get rid of it. Then put that item in the appropriate box/bag. Using the box method means that you can focus on one thing at a time and at the end of the session, simply do what needs to be done with each box.
