As we get closer to the end of the year - you should start to think about "clearing your clutter" and "donating" your "stuff"!
We all know that you probably received a lot of presents over the holidays. Where are you going to put all of the "suff"?
If you have kids - start clearing out their old toys (that they have outgrown). But - let them make the choices. Get the kids involved when they are young. Explain to them that they have outgrown some of their toys and how great it would be if other children could get the same joy out of playing with them. It gives them a sense of purpose. Letting them be in control will make them feel more grown up and you will have accomplished your goal of making room for other things.
Now - do the same thing with your stuff! Go through your closets and be honest with yourself. If you haven't used something in the last year, if you don't like it anymore, if you have lost interest in some of your crafts, if your clothes don't fit or your are tired of them - let them make someone else happy! Let them go to a good home!
And don't forget to get your donation receipt for your taxes!
Go through one room a day or one closet a day. Don't try to do it all at once and stress yourself out. It's still the holiday season and you should also take time for self-care.
You want to start the new year with an uncluttered home - where your new items have a place to belong.
Less Clutter = Less Stress SM in your home, your business and your life
