I am quite an organized person and love to keep things tidy and clean. But I am a lazy person as well so things can become messy every so often.
So, now it is time to declutter and organize.
so here we go with my tips and tricks for decluttering:
1. Happy and positive music
...that fills you with joy. For me is the most important thing because nothing is more of a task than decluttering and clearing out. I believe it is easier if you are in a good mood.My decluttering playlist: Roxette "The look", Sigala, Avri Lavigne, Ingrid Michaelson "Be OK", The Beatles "Here comes the Sun", Gabrielle "When a woman", Mandisa "Good morning", Natasha Bedingfield "Happy", Youtube "Happy Musik-Ukulele Background", Jackie Wilson "Keeps lifting me higher", Jeremy Loops, Katrina & the Waves "Walking on sunshine", Meghan Trainor, Passenger "Anywhere", Pharrell Williams "Happy", The pointer sisters "I am so excited", Walk the moon "Shut up and dance", Zero Assoluto "Tutte le cose"... just to name a few ;)
2. clear out everything
It is very helpful to see the dimension of what you are 'collecting'. Sometimes that is a great motivator to clear out the stuff you really do not need.
3. clean your free space
The clean smell will set you in a good mood and motivate you to organize.
4. the questions
- Will I really need that or do I just keep it for the "what-if-I-need-it-in-the-future"-situations (that often will not arrive)?- If I really think I am in need of it- how many times will I really use it?
5. if decluttering comes a little difficult to you...
be a tiny bit with yourself strict or set yourself a goal. I am a person who can throw f.e. clothing away very easily. But I know there are a few people (f.e. in my fam) who might find it a little bit harder to clear it out.
6. helpful: boxes, labels
1 box for things you will throw away / or you can directly throw it into the bin1 box for things to give away
1 box for things to sell
7. call your family/friends to help
It is more fun not to do it alone ;) #happymood
8. list with things you REALLY need to buy
And now- let's declutter and free your mind of all that unnerving stuff :)
Lots of love
