Need some fresh ideas for clearing out clutter?
Let me share a couple that might just make the process a bit more fun!
Ever heard of the 3-box exercise? It's a super easy way to sort through your stuff. Get three boxes and label them: keep, donate, and trash. Then, go through your clothes and toss each item into the appropriate box. If you're unsure about something, ask yourself if you've worn it in the last six months. If not, it might be time to let it go! This trick works wonders not just for clothes, but also for decluttering your garage.
Another option? Consider hiring a skip bin. Having a big bin right in front of you makes it so much easier to toss things out. No more putting off the decluttering - just toss it in and watch your space open up!
Hope these tips help make your decluttering journey a breeze!
