SubscribeDe-Cluttering Soothes my Soul
Inspired by a recent zen habits blog post, Ashley and I have made some major efforts at removing clutter from our home. I'm not going to go into the silly detail of what we've cleaned up or how. We just got rid of stuff we don't use and therefore don't need. This new found simplicity is a breath of fresh air.
I can only encourage you to take a look around your space and evaluate your own piles of nick-knacks. Do you really need that trinket that your great aunt gave you back in the sixth grade? If the answer is no, then toss it or donate it. Run through that process in for about 30 minutes and see what kind of a pile you can make.
Hi! I just found your blog when I was wandering around the internet doing some reading.
I am all for de-cluttering. Clutter has a way of making me tense, lol. I wrote about this great site this past May called Freecycle. Here is a link to my entry. http://journals.aol.com/jillannemarie/HousewifeLife/entries/2007/05/23/freecycle/1779
Anyone who is going to go through the house and get rid of unwanted items should really consider freecycling. It is basically giving things you don’t want or need to someone who can use them.
Now that Christmas is over and spring is on it’s way (however slowly) it is time for me to do some de-cluttering too.
Have a wonderful day!
I tried to sell my crap on ebay, but apparently my crap isn’t anyone’s treasure, so it’s off to the landfill.
