Do you know how to make extra time for yourself? How to make time to take advantage of a spontaneous suggestion? How to make time to just be able to do what ever it is you want to do at any given moment? Simplify your life.
Simplify your life by clearing the clutter from your space.
If you don't need it get rid of it.
If you don't use it find some one who can.
If you don't like it, find it a new home.
Make a plan.
Pick a starting point.
Maybe your attic or closet.
These are two storage locations that everyone has something stored they probably do not use and never will use.
Start with your closet.
Select a group of items to sort.
Remove all of these items from the closet.
Now inspect each one and decide what stays and what goes.
Have a set of questions ready for the evaluation process.
Did you wear it last week? Did you wear it last month? Do you like it? Will you ever wear it again? Does it make you feel good wearing it? Is it comfortable? Does it still fit and look good? Is it in style? Is it worth saving until it comes back in style? Probably not.
Good, how many pieces did you decide to live without? Are you sure you need that holy shirt? It would make a nice soft cleaning cloth.
Do this test.
If you simply cannot part with an item, put it up front where you will notice it for the next 60 days.
If you haven't worn it and felt good about it by the end of the selected time, it did not pass the test.
You now what that means.
That's right, into the donation pile.
Out with the old in with the new.
If you bring in a new item, simply take one out.
This habit will keep your closets happy for many years to come.
Donate it, have a garage sale, or just give it away.
This is recycling at its best.
The less you have, the less there is to clean, fold, put away.
The less to dust and polish.
And now you have room for more.
Now doesn't that feel better?
