How do we collect clutter in the first place? After all we came into the world possession free!
Its all in the ''.. Be Clutter Free Equation
Items In minus Items Out
If you are happily removing clutter but are adding things just as fast then you won't ever feel clutter free.
Step One
Identify where the clutter is coming from. Observe your life and you will find your clutter collection spots:
Junk Mail: Do you have a pile which contains things you will look at 'one day'? When was the last time you looked at anything in the pile?
Email: Do you get lot's of unwanted email? Or are you inundated with Newsletters (!!!'?) that you thought would be a good idea?
Gifts: When you receive unwanted gifts do they lurk at the bottom of a cupboard?
Shopping: Are you always tempted to purchase things: books, clothes, storage solutions, etc and then find that you don't really use or enjoy them?
Undone Tasks: Is your mind cluttered with tasks 'to be done' that never seem to get to the top of the list?
Ideas: Are you a creative person whose head is always so full of ideas that it drives you crazy?
Step Two
Stop and Create Systems that work for you! Here are some ideas:
? One in one out. If you buy a new item then another can go ? Purchase only consumables for a set amount of time ? When you are about to make a purchase ask yourself: 'Do I really need this? Do I really want this? Will this add value to my life'? ? Unsubscribe to unread newsletterscut the clutter in your inbox ? Get taken off the junk mailing contact lists ? Put all your ideas on paper, into a folder and off your mind ? Open your mail by the waste bindispose of junk mail straight away ? Talk to friends and family about gifting to charity on your behalf or be brave and let them know what you'd really like for your birthday!
Rejoice!
Enjoy what you have and'.. work towards a vision of your perfect environment.
