There’s a reason for the new reality shows on hoarding – most of us have too much stuff. Thinking ahead to your spring cleaning – and who doesn’t want to Think Spring during these coldest months of the year – some more tips to unclutter your home from Donna Smallin, author of 7 Simple Steps, and 700 tips and ideas.
Kick the Shopping Habit
-
Consider buying less stuff in general.
-
Go shopping only when you need something - make a list and stick to it
-
Minimize impulse buying by leaving your credit card at home when you browse. If it really is a must-have item, you’ll be willing to pay cash for it.
-
Don’t go to a garage sale unless you are looking for something specific
-
Don’t buy something just because it’s on sale!
