Clutter is an ever present problem. It’s got the creep factor where you see a bit here and there and then all of a sudden full surfaces and even rooms are out of control! The compound effect is never more evident than with stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ll remind you, clutter, by definition is a delayed decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This brings in a challenge! A game! The Minimalists tell of the this game on their podcast. You start at the beginning of a month and each day let go of the amount of the date – Nov 1st you’d let go of 1 item, Nov 2nd you’d let go of 2 items and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people continue by making the next month 32, 33, 34 or just restart again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would wait to tackle areas you have a lot to get rid of until the end days of the month. For example, if you young kids and haven’t purged toys in a bit, finding 20-25 may be easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some areas to tackle – containers, mismatched socks, sleepwear, pens and pencils, toys….you get the idea. Picking one area to go into rather than just walking around the house may be easier to deep dive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, get started one month and see if you can get in the habit of letting go daily!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
