We always buy and receive stuff from time to time. Books. Clothes. You name it. However, we often are unaware of how much stuff we leave behind when we receive new things, and then we realize we have lots of things in our house that we either use rarely, or not use at all, and then we come upon a realization that it’s high time we de-cluttered.
Oftentimes, decluttering can feel like it’s an overwhelming task, which I think is normal since we have accumulated stuff over a long time. So how do we begin decluttering?
Elaine Birchall has this to say: daily, dedicate 15 minutes of your time to decluttering.
This is a very manageable method of developing the skill of self-regulation which makes life easier and more effective. Remember, if you make the task a drudge you will not return to it regularly and consistently enough to reach the success you want.
