Cleaning out your clutter may be easier than you think. One technique that is very important; starting small; maybe picking a drawer, a specific shelf or counter top to begin with; and perhaps sticking to that specific area to the very end.
The next technique is a simple way to get started organizing. It is called it the tote technique. This may help simplify the organizing process.
Kids Storage Totes
Making a photo or video log may help ease the anxiety of letting go of those items. And knowing that you have a way of keeping that treasured item without the clutter may give you the confidence you need.
You may find the process of decluttering worthwhile because it may allow you to release what has been leaving no room for new and exciting changes and you may find that it has a positive effect on other aspects of your life.
Starting Small
My friend started small so she wouldn't feel so overwhelmed. She began with a drawer in her bathroom. She sorted through each item, tossing what needed to be thrown out. She found that her belongings were orderly and more easily accessible as she put them back in.
Next she moved to the vanity. She felt a boost of confidence as she thought of her now beautifully organized drawer and imagined her bathroom completely decluttered.
Again making sure she started small, she did the vanity top first and later the cupboards below, so she wouldn't feel overwhelmed and get discouraged.
Next it was the counter top, right on down to the baseboards and before she knew it the entire bathroom was clutter free.
The Tote Technique
My friend gathered four clear totes. Tote 1 was where she put items to give away. Tote 2 was where she put items she wanted to keep in storage. Tote 3 was where she put items that were to be used in the home immediately. And tote 4 was for the throw away items.
She found she had to empty her totes often or else those things would somehow manage to creep back into tote 2 for storage, therefore defeating her attempt to release her clutter in the first place.
Photo/Video Log
As my friend utilized the tote technique, she made a photo and video log. She also found it was then easy for her to access the photos or video. She was able to create many very nice gifts from copies of those photos or videos for other people who enjoyed seeing and hearing her thoughts on the memories.
Not to mention she got more gratification from the positive feedback. She then had even more cherished memories that she may have never known about had she not found a way to share her memories and thoughts through the photos and videos.
She truly discovered that for her that it was the memory that she wanted to hold onto more than the item itself.
