Start Small
Embarking on the journey of decluttering can be simplified by starting with a manageable area, such as a single drawer, shelf, or corner. This approach builds momentum without overwhelming you.
Begin by sorting through items, making decisions on what to keep, donate, or discard. This systematic process not only streamlines your space but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and motivates you to tackle larger areas with renewed clarity
The Four-Box Method
Optimise your decluttering strategy by using four labeled boxes or bins: 'Keep,' 'Donate,' 'Sell,' and 'Trash.' As you navigate through each area of your home, categorise items into these boxes.
Be honest with yourself, aiming to minimise items in the 'Keep' box. This methodical approach not only simplifies decision-making but also streamlines the process, allowing you to curate your space with intention and efficiency.
The One-In, One-Out Rule
Curate with Purpose: Enforce a 'One In, One Out' rule—every new item requires the removal of one. This prevents future clutter. Before making a purchase, assess its necessity and value to your life.
Before purchasing something new, consider whether you truly need it and if it will add value to your life.
