6 Essential Tips To Make Room At Home Right Now.
Are your closets full? And you don't know how to store them, so much that there are things?
Here are 6 simple tips to get out of the chaos.
You can gently declutter your closets right now.
I was lucky enough to come across a book that I loved: The Art of Getting to the Basics by Leo Babauta.
I drew 6 simple tips from it. Look :
1. Get rid of every object that has not been used for 2 years
Why keep something at home that hasn't been used for 2 years? It does not make sense.
The trick is to take every item that isn't used often and place it in the attic, garage, or basement.
Then, using a Post-it note, the date of storage is indicated on it.
If the object has not moved for 2 years, then we sell or we give.
If you start to feel comfortable, reduce the period to 1 year or even 6 months.
To sell all your stuff, try leboncoin.fr. To donate, try donons.org.
The concept is simple: you make room in your home by giving others things you no longer use.
2. Start with the easiest
Want to tackle the big cellar cleanup in the hope of getting it done in just 1 day?
You will run to the cataclysm. Start with the easiest first.
It gives courage before the big chore.
If it's not over today, that's okay.
The important thing is to have started.
3. Plan 30 minutes of decluttering per week
For novices in decluttering, it should not be more than 30 min per week.
Otherwise, you will quickly get discouraged.
The important thing is to start somewhere, with a few items.
And if we make it a habit, of this little 1 / 2h per week, then it's won!
4. For each new object that enters, one object leaves
Have you fallen for a new handbag, a new skirt, a new shirt or a new pair of shoes?
Now you need to get rid of an old handbag, old skirt, old shirt, or old pair of shoes.
Simple, but formidably effective. The goal is to avoid accumulating before it's too late.
This implies zero collection to preserve your living space.
The watchword: be and always stay on the alert.
Do not forget. Nothing fits, as long as another object has not come out.
5. Put an end to the "you never know, it can be useful"
A large part of the items that are stored at home are used less than once a year.
You do not believe me ? Take a tour of your home and ask yourself the question for each object.
You see, I was right.
Today, storing an object is expensive. Especially when you live in an apartment.
It takes up space for nothing. It picks up the dust that needs to be cleaned.
So the next time you say to yourself, "you never know, this can help," turn your tongue 7 times in your mouth.
And sell the item or give it away :-)
6. Take advantage of the seasons to make room
Winter affairs are particularly voluminous.
Quilts, blankets, throws, pillows, winter clothes, etc ... take up a crazy place in our little closets.
So from spring, fill your cupboards with all these bulky things until next winter.
