Decluttering your home

By decluttering your home and giving away, selling or trashing any items, you are able to simplify and enjoy life more.

With that in mind, here are a few benefits that you may or may not have thought of:

  • The more you practice evaluating the value of things in your life, the less attached you become to stuff in general.
  • As you purposefully declutter your home, you’ll realise how much stuff you truly have. This will help you evaluate future purchases more carefully, which will ultimately save you money.
  • If you are more of a keeper and your spouse is not, starting the process can reduce conflict. Of course, decluttering can cause conflict if you start giving away your spouse’s things without their permission! I don’t recommend doing that!
  • You’ll spend less time dusting and cleaning.
  • You’ll have a better idea of where things are in your home and be able to find them more quickly and easily.
