Decluttering Challenge: Day 1

It was interesting last night.  I set about decluttering my toiletries basket and one draw from a chest of drawers.  I thought I wouldn't have much to do.  More than half the stuff had to go.

What happens over time is that we change.  As we change the 'things' that once supported us are no longer important or needed.  They belong to who we were then not who we are now.

As I was working away last night (I did around half an hour in the end) I realised that in order to declutter easily you need to have the following in mind:

Decluttering Tips

• Decluttering can bring up a lot of extra 'things to do'.  If you are very decluttered this can be bad news.  Your focus needs to be on the decluttering not on giving yourself extra jobs.
  

• Don't overdo it!  Decluttering can be really energising and if you are enjoying the process you can bulid up a full head of steam and keep going for hours.  This is not necessarily a good idea - you can exhaust yourself and this can put you off for the next day.
