It seems that every day, I fight a war. Of course, I’m not fighting a real war, but one against the clutter that tends to find its way into my house. More than anyone, I think I need these simple decluttering tips in my home!
As we gain sentimental knickknacks and beautiful pictures that belong in frames, we also suffer from the clutter that they bring. Clutter also surfaces in the important paperwork that we have to keep but haven’t yet filed, or bills that need to be paid but aren’t quite ready to be shredded yet. After a while of trying to rearrange it, we usually hit our breaking point–decluttering. It happens to the best of us, really. It’s time to take out the old and replace with the new, or just take out the old and enjoy a bit of extra breathing room.
