7. Donate clothes you don’t love.
You won’t have tension and indecision when getting dressed in the morning after organizing your closet since there will be more room and calm. Additionally, giving your old clothes to a neighborhood charity is an easy yet significant way to give back.
8. Declutter duplicates.
This is one of the simplest ways to advance quickly and is sometimes referred to as a minimization accelerator. Consider opening your linen closet. Do you really need so many additional pillows, linens, and towels? Cleaning supplies, gardening equipment, fashion accessories, home office supplies, toys, books, and kitchen appliances are other things that make excellent candidates for duplication elimination. Keep the items you use most frequently from each category and discard the rest.
9. Clear your dining room table.
Do you keep mail, bags, keys, and other items that need to be transported from one location to another on your dining room table? If that’s the case, eating from it could feel like more labor than it’s worth. Place the things in their proper places. Make your tabletop a spotless, spacious, and welcoming area.
10. Invite the right people to gather at your dining room table, often.
These are the individuals you enjoy being with, who adore and value you, and who motivate you to change for the better in fun and positive ways. They are the ones who energize you and help you embrace both who you are today and who you aspire to be in the future. The bottom line is that your efforts to declutter have allowed you more room to converse, laugh, embrace, and share experiences with loved ones, close friends, and neighbors. Remember to make it count.
11. Practice gratitude, in your home, daily.
It’s a good idea to take a break from your quest for a life that is easier and more structured at least once a day to take a moment to enjoy the life you have right now. In their enlightening book, 1,000 Little Things Happy, Successful People Do Differently, Marc and Angel share: “Take a moment to be grateful as you look around. for the welfare of you, your loved ones, your friends, and your house. Nothing lasts a lifetime.
12. Take down signs that don’t sincerely vibe with your present values.
“It’s challenging living in the fast lane when you’re married to a speed bump,” reads a sign in the laundry room of a lady I know. I see the comedy, but I’m curious as to how she could approach her marriage if she saw that sign every day. Don’t you want the words on your walls to lift you up and encourage you instead if you’re going to hang them there?
13. Calm a space for reading and being at peace.
You can “calm” an area even if you don’t feel like clearing out an entire room of junk. By reducing distractions, you may quiet a place. Pick a favorite chair, then clear the area surrounding it. Anything on the floor that isn’t furniture has to be removed. Clear the top of side tables or a coffee table by putting away remote controls, kid’s toys, pet toys, hobby supplies, old newspapers and magazines, mail, books, and other objects.
