If you’re feeling overwhelmed at the thought of organizing your home, start with some life-changing decluttering ideas first.
It’s OK to keep food for emergencies but there are also many benefits to a minimalist pantry. You’ll save time and money cooking if you can easily see what’s in stock, and you’ll probably reduce food wastage as well.
Put all your sentimental items in one place and return to them often. Handle a few things and pay attention to your feelings. Has anything shifted? See if you can let go of just one item.
Go through your makeup bag or drawer and get rid of anything that’s past its use-by date. (Be sure to check what can be recycled before it all goes in the bin!)
The easiest way to do this is to grab a trash bag and sort the papers into two piles – important and trash. Throw the trash away and immediately file the important papers away.
Choose a corner or even one shelf, and challenge yourself to let go of a few things. Less stuff means your favorite pieces will have space to shine.
