I have been meaning to sort out my wardrobe and desk for the longest time, this is the inspiration I needed! I love the feeling after a big sort out when all looks clear, there is more space and rooms even look bigger. I’m sure I relax better when the place is like this,
Best wishes,
Kate.

I’m really glad I found this article. My community is having two great events coming up in a little over a week. One event is a free bulk shredding day, where I plan to take all my old confidential documents and receipts that I no longer need, which will clear A LOT of clutter out of my home office; and the other event is a free medicine disposal event, so I’m going to go through all my over the counter and prescription medicines for those that I don’t like, don’t use or that are expired. I know how I’ll be spending my weekend, and I’m actually looking forward to it.

I am so going to have to get my wife to read this. I keep putting stuff in bags to throw out, she keeps promising to take them out to friends or charity shop (I would do it myself … but it’s a long story! There’s a good reason. Honest!) but never does.

Now we just have stuff piled into bags in the cupboards rather than loose stuff. Which is a small step in the right direction I guess!

I came late to decluttering. It is still not natural to me but I love the feeling it gives me when I slog through and do it. I attacked my work area at home this weekend. It seems to be heading quickly back towards my genetic equilibrium though! Thanks for these idea, especially the clothes. I don't wear 90% of them but I "might" someday so I seem to want to hang on to them all.

@ Carla – Welcome! Moving is a great time to declutter. We moved nearly a year ago to a much smaller home. It was great opportunity to get rid of many of the non-essentials we simply didn’t have the room in our new home. Good luck with decluttering and with the move!

@hkki – Thanks!

@ Albert – It is sometimes difficult to get started but once you’re on a roll it can fun When an object has sentimental value it’s really tough to get rid of it. We’ve started taking pictures of items that have sentimental value before donating them. I find it’s not the physical thing that we’re attached to but rather the memories that they conjure up. So having a picture of the item allows you to reminisce every now and again without it taking up space. Just a thought…hope you had some luck this weekend

You know this is actually harder than it looks. I was sitting around for 5 minutes looking at my old stuff and going “hmm…I don’t need it…then again…I miss it…then again…it’s so old…then again…it has sentimental value…”
