People who work in hired storage space will tell you one thing – most people who store things there never come and get them again. We often convince ourselves that we need to keep things for ‘one day’ or for sentimental reasons when they clutter our lives without bringing value to it. There are ways to keep things such as old photographs, DVDs, CDs – individuals and businesses can transfer or scan them all onto a drive or into the cloud so that they can be preserved and accessed easily. In your home space, try taking all of the clutter out of the room and place it in a box for 1 week or a fortnight. If you don’t need anything or miss anything, it’s time to re-gift, donate, or recycle. You will be amazed at how much lighter and calmer your space feels (and how much easier it is to clean!). This process works just as well with clothes, jobs, habits, junk food and everything else in life. Abstain from them for 1-2 weeks and, if their absence is not detrimental to your life – it’s time to reconsider their importance.
