Sometimes you struggle to declutter because you feel guilty getting rid of an item or feel obligated to keep it. This will help keep your clothes from getting wrinkled and help you keep track of your belongings. If you are convinced you will use it, give yourself a deadline. It’s also good to remember that often if a scenario does come up where you could use a “just in case” item, you either forget you have it, can’t find it or find a suitable alternative to use anyway.
Then, before you know it your house is full of things you don’t use or love, but keep “just in case”. When I need a full suit and tie, I just rent one. Even if there is the odd thing or two you wish you kept, it’s not worth keeping a house full of clutter “just in case” you may need one or two things one day. Most of the stuff you declutter you won’t even remember after a week or two!
I need two wardrobes for each season I have way too much stuff that I don’t wear or have never worn but almost scared to get rid of it in case I need it one day. I’ve heard a time or two that you want to be one size ahead of what your baby’s age is so that is something to consider and keep in mind. Just follow the steps one by one and before you know it, you will have an organized closet that is easy to keep put all the way away.
If you’re worried about regretting decluttering an item, there will likely be very few things you’ll regret getting rid of. Maybe the item was a gift so you feel guilty getting rid of it. After that, what you decide to do with the gift is up to you. Remember the gift already served its purpose as an expression of love for you from the giver. Gotta love the prices at the thrift store, though.
If you aren’t currently using or loving the item, what makes you think you’ll use or love it in the future? If you can’t think of one, let the item go! Put a reminder in your calendar, and if you haven’t used the item by the deadline, get rid of it. If you have so much stuff that you find it hard to comfortably get around in your own home, you have too much stuff.
There is only a single fold in this roll, so there is not much that can wrinkle if you follow the steps below. Get rid of it, either donating it or selling it, so someone else can use or love it. What's best for you may not be best for someone else. If you are struggling to declutter, sometimes the best approach is to figure out why you are struggling.
You need to figure out what you’re working with. You’re going to need to plan where you’d like for specific items like shoes, hats, and jackets to go with respect to your fitness wear, work clothes, and formal clothing. 7. of 10. Store Bulky Items Like Shoes. How many shoes do people purchase each year? You could place a small dresser inside of your closet for an instant set of drawers, use an over-the-door storage unit to store shoes and accessories, or purchase stackable boxes and bins to make sure you use the upper storage space in the top part of your closet.
Decluttering and simplifying your home will give you time, space and freedom to live life on your own terms. Garage cabinets will help you organize your belongings and keep them out of the way. But I take some solace in the fact that I’m far from the only one who feels this way about their closet. Decluttering sentimental items is one of the most common reasons people struggle to declutter.
In today’s post, you’ll learn 13 of the most common reasons people struggle to declutter. Or worry if you get rid of the item, you’ll need it down the road and regret getting rid of it. With this more slow fashion approach, you’ll evidently define your personal style and stick to that instead of buying everything you like and then not wearing 90% of it.
However, if you don’t see your needs changing or don’t over organize your closet like I do, then this would be a moot issue! Better slacks and lightweight jeans can be flipped upside down, match all four side seams together, and either hang long from a clip hanger or fold over a pants-friendly hanger with a thick or rolled bottom rod.
Over the course of time, all households are inevitably going to have a little bit of dirt on their floors. Taking the leap and decluttering your home can often be a little scary or overwhelming. If the item isn’t adding value to your life, it shouldn’t stay in your home. I needed something so they would stay in their own pile.
