For many, we 'collect' or just tuck something away thinking we may need it some day. When that day comes we have long forgotten about this insight we had months or years ago and end up buying again, and now we have more stuff. It seems to make sense at one point in our life, but a day will come when you stand back and wonder how it's gotten to the point where areas in your home are out of control. Tossing out items or 'recycling' doesn't have to turn into a be huge complicated project. You can tackle spaces one at a time. With each step you will feel a little lighter, a little more liberated and you have to remember to keep the goal for an organized home in mind and don't recreate the pattern by replacing what you have purged. 1/ When surveyed on spring cleaning people were asked where they plan on starting this project. The most common response was their clothes closet which makes perfect sense. Items from last year that don't fit, you have replaced because they are showing signs of wear, out of style or you just don't wear them and you won't. Let them go! If still in good condition perhaps give a bag to a friend who may use them or a charity. 2/ The linen closet is often ignored. Sheets get worn and bally and you can move these to the garage for drop cloths, or cut them up as rags. You've changed from a full to a queen bed so why do you still have the sheets from the full? An old comforter or blanket? How about cutting this into large sections and offering to a kennel or animal shelter. They use these for dogs to lie on and after being washed dozens of times can always use replacements. Towels will help here too! 3/ Cupboards in the kitchen can hide a lot of things that need to be thrown out. Go through here about twice a year, again items that are good and unopened and you won't use, give to a food bank. If it's well past the expiry date, let it go! Try and rotate things as you put them in bringing the older things forward. Also getting the organizers that allow you to fill it tiers will make it easier to see what is at the back. Old pots and pans, small appliances that you may have two or even three of, again, take and donate to a charity organization. These three areas are not visible to the naked eye so we tend to put them out of our minds when they are out of sight. The clutter can collect but closing the door makes it easier to deal with. Opening the door makes you realize that yet again, how did it get to this? Making room for your good clothing, shoes, accessories, bedding and towels and ridding yourself of the items that should have been tossed a decade ago will reduce all the behind the scenes clutter and help you feel more organized and able to be organized to a point where you can find what you're looking for.
