Tips for Clutter Clearing
Clutter can drain your energy and make it harder to focus. Use this simple test to decide whether to keep or let go of an item:
1. Does it lift my energy?
2. Do I absolutely love it?
3. Is it genuinely useful?
If you can’t confidently answer “YES” to at least one of these, ask yourself why is it still In my space/ life?
Before You Start
Prepare four large boxes and label them clearly:
1. Charity / Friends / Family
2. Recycle Waste – paper, cardboard, etc.
3. Keep / Reuse
4. Rubbish
Tips for success:
• Having the boxes ready will save time and energy—especially when deciding what to keep.
• Avoid letting your “Keep” box overflow; the fuller it gets, the more sorting you’ll have to redo later.
• Once an item goes into a box, commit to your decision—don’t take it back out.
• Remove filled boxes from your home as soon as possible. The longer they sit, the more likely they’ll turn into new clutter.
Clearing with Intention
Take a picture before and after.
• Set realistic goals. Work one area at a time, stay focused, and reward yourself when you finish.
• Start with clothing. Remember: most people wear only 20% of their clothes 80% of the time.
o If you haven’t worn it in 18 months, it’s time to let it go.
Declutter obvious items such as:
o Unwanted gifts
o Broken or non-working items
o Old newspapers, magazines, or packaging
Donate, recycle, or throw these out.
Finally, how to keep your space Clutter Free.
Before You Buy Anything New
1. Whenever you consider buying something new, ask yourself:
2. “What can I let go of to make space for this?”
This mindset keeps your home balanced and clutter-free especially when it comes to clothes!
