Unfortunately, clutter is a problem that doesn’t just appear overnight. It takes time to build up, time to expand, and time to take over. Most of the time, it happens with the best of intentions. We keep things around because we think we might need them sometime in the future. Take old notebooks for example, they’re hard to toss because there is still unused paper in them that we think might someday be useful. The problem is that saving too many unnecessary things will end up just cluttering your home.
The truth is, having less isn’t such a bad thing and getting rid of clutter can improve your life. Not only can clutter make your daily life more difficult as you search around aimlessly through it for anything you may need, it can really cause a lot of stress.
To help everyone effectively declutter their lives, Embracing Homemaking has an awesome list of 200 Things to Throw Away that will help you along through the process. If you begin by facing a few of the items each week, you’ll be on the way to having a clutter free house in no time.
Just think of all the room you’ll have for fun activities!
