How do you declutter your life so that it has staying power? The obvious is to declutter first. Then what? Here are 3 ground rules to set forth in your life to keep clutter under control. We’ll learn about your possessions value, assigning a home, and focus to declutter your life.
The first ground rule to declutter your life is about your possessions. Everything you own should contain value on three levels. The items are either functional, beautiful, or you love it. They are things that boost you up, not bog you down. We’ve established the first rule, now let’s learn about assigned places for your belongings.
The second ground rule to declutter your life is that everything needs a home. Imagine you tell your kid to clean up their room. There aren’t any designated spaces for their belongings to put their toys up. How can you expect them to keep their room tidy, if they don’t know where things belong. This is why it is essential to give all your items a place to live to keep a clutter free home. Now on to the last ground rule.
The final ground rule to declutter your life is to focus on one thing at a time. Multitasking is asking for a death wish when it comes to the completion of anything. Scientific studies have also shown it to affect memory. Focus on one task at a time. See it’s way through completion.
Decluttering your life will make even more sense when you apply these three ground rules. Try it on for size for the next thirty days. Everything you own must contain value. Assign possessions a home. Finally focus on one thing at a time for completion to ultimately declutter your life.
