You may be keeping all those birthday cards because of their “sentimental value”, but you don’t need to have the ones from your childhood. If you find yourself keeping items, junk, and just random materials around your home because you think you want it or will use it later, then you may want to reevaluate your system. Here are some great ways to on how to get rid of things that you truly don’t need.
Thank you so much for your very helpful blog! I am in the process of spring cleaning and found your tips to be so helpful.
BTW only tip I disagreed with was the one about the oddly shaped rug that fits snugly around the toilet. My house tends to be cold and since I don’t wear shoes in the house, I really appreciate that rug on cold days 🙂
I need help in organizing,tough time letting things go. Especially pretty things or clothing.Some of your suggestions were helpful..Just need someone to come and do it.
The KonMari method is also a really good way to declutteras it teaches you to appreciate an item for how it has served you, then let it go. I struggled with keeping things ‘just in case’ or because someone gave it to me as a gift but I found that book so helpful.
