Do parts of your home look something like this? Are you ready for newness but feeling stuck?
Tomorrow we begin a 30-day journey to change that.
Here are some tips for decluttering and creating space:
1. Keep it Simple
Remove one thing a day for 30 days. If you are on a roll and feel inclined to, do more. Or instead of one item, you may decide to spend a certain amount of time organizing each day. You know what your life needs. Trust that. But keep it simple. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Neither was your clutter. 🙂2. Go for the Low Hanging Fruit
I suggest starting with the obvious clutter — that which you have the least emotional attachment to, is stuff you know you won’t need, and is the easiest to get rid of. We’re going for the easy wins!3. Set Yourself up for Success
Gather boxes and containers and have them ready to put items in. I’m putting a recycling box for paper in my office, a few boxes for goodwill ready in the garage, and a big black garbage bag in the corner of my closet for clothes.4. Let Family Members Know What You’re Up To
Every time I’ve gotten on a decluttering kick, it isn’t long before my family joins in. They see how much better the house FEELS with s-p-a-c-e. And we make it fun. (Hanna LOVES sorting!) Even if they don’t join in, let them know. But, do this for you!5. Invite Friends to Join Along
We are not meant to journey this life alone. Come to this blog or my facebook page and tell us your daily wins. Or if you want the daily accountability but don’t want to share openly, use the contact form and send me a private message. I’ll happily respond.Remember, clutter is not bad (or good). It just reflects a place you’ve been. And it might be preventing you from moving forward. So if you’re feeling stuck or weighed down in any area of your life, this journey is for you!
Let’s begin.
With love,
Paula
