Decluttering has very little to do with storage; it’s really about the choices you make. If your closet is overflowing and your floors are buried under things without a proper home, it’s a sign that something needs to change. Buying more containers to manage what you already own isn’t always the answer. That overflow feels uncomfortable for a reason it’s trying to tell you something. Storage that hides clutter doesn’t solve the problem, it only delays it. Eventually, you have to stop organizing and start letting things go.
This post is pretty text-heavy, so I’ve spaced out the sentences to make it easier on the eyes and added a few stock photos to break it up. It’s basically a collection of notes from my phone, just organized by topic. I wrote this for me so I can refer back to it. Last year I did a full closet declutter and this year I'm embarking on a full house declutter. My home is small so the more empty space I have, the bigger it will feel. As a gift to myself for doing this, I will reward my home with an indoor faux tree plant.
