Powerful Decluttering Ideas That Will Change Your Home

You’re sick and tired of looking around at the clutter all over your home, right?

0:00 Intro

0:32 1. Box it all up.

Many people don’t want to commit to serious change immediately. In fact, they want to declutter, but when they think about getting rid of an item, they think “What if I need it??”
So, try an experiment. Want to see what it’s like to live minimally? Box all your stuff up and put it in another room. See what minimal living will be like without a serious commitment.

1:50 2. Be honest with a buddy
There isn’t anything that compares to being honest with someone when you are decluttering. Make a commitment with a friend to sort together each week: having to explain why you are keeping something to a friend can help you realize precisely what you are wanting when keeping an item.

2:30 3. Set a limit

When it’s time to declutter my children’s rooms, it’s hard for them to think “what do I want to get rid of?” and even using the KonMarie method, I have a couple of kids that say “everything sparks joy” so that doesn’t help.
I have found it helpful to say “You can keep 20 personal items.” This is their own personal stash of toys or things, not legos or sets of blocks/trains, etc. We rotate the sets of toys, so only one is played with at a time. And they have a designated area (basket/box) for their personal items.

You can use the same method when you work around the house.
Everything owned can be limited based on daily/weekly use.

4:58 4. Set a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly goal

2021 in 2021 Decluttering Challenge - My own personal favorite, of course! 😂 Getting rid of over 2k things a year for 5+ years made a tremendous impact on our home, taking me from chaos & clutter to minimalist.

6:22 5. Establish a routine

I can’t say it enough! If you don’t wash your dishes twice a day, you a missing out on minimalist living.

I know people think that’s crazy- but limiting the dishes to only what we use in one meal, means I HAVE to wash the dishes after each meal. BUT it takes me less than 10 minutes to do that. So I spend a total of 15-20 minutes washing the dishes each day.

Before minimalism, I would use up all the dishes in the house and then spend 3 hours washing dishes, usually twice a week. Spending 20 minutes a day --over a week that’s a total of 2.5 hours washing dishes- I’m saving myself 3.5 hours of dishwashing every week by merely having fewer dishes and washing them more often.

7:42 6. Invest in a course

When we invest in something, it’s a stronger commitment. We take it seriously.

When I wanted to get fit, I knew I could take a walk every day and lift weights, but it wasn’t until I invested in an exercise program that took me through a daily workout that I actually did what I’ve been intending to do for years.

There is no shame in this, there is no shame in investing in yourself- some of us just need that extra push to accomplish what we want. It doesn’t matter how we achieve it- what matters is that we do accomplish it!
