5 Simple Steps to Getting Rid of the Junk in Your House
House Cleaning in Houston
1. Declare Your Why
Becker says it's really important to define your reasons for de-owning and de-cluttering. If you don't have a good reason to do it — whether your stuff is causing you stress or you simply need a fresh start — you're probably not going to follow through.
2. Start Small
People trying to simplify their lives often make one big mistake: going too big too soon. Becker says it's much easier to start easy and small.
"Maybe even begin with your car — so often a home for loose change, ketchup packets, receipts, and old pens. A clutter-free vehicle will not only feel cleaner, but much calmer," he says.
3. Go Through Your Book Collection
We know, we know — this one's tough. But there's no use in having rooms of dusty, unread books.
"Tackle the stacks of books in your workspace by removing outdated reference books. You can find anything you need to know on the Internet, and any book 'you should have read,'" Becker says. "Clutter — even intellectual clutter — can get in the way of accomplishing your goals."
4. Know You Can Be Unsure
Some things are really hard to get rid of — we totally get that. But there is a method that allows you to have a little more time to make up your mind about something you might not be ready to say goodbye to.
"If you're struggling with a 'high value' item that you're not sure you can part with, consider an intermediate step – leveling where you can put the items aside for a designated time period," he says. "When you come back to it, you will likely have a renewed sense of what you can and cannot part with."
5. Make It a Family Project
The process of de-cluttering is always easier when you get the whole family involved.
"Get the family in on the effort — establish boundaries for your kids about what's OK to buy or keep and what's not," he says.
Becker says he lets his daughter have as many toys as can fit in her closet. Hmm... maybe we should use the same logic when it comes to our beauty products...
