In continuing to simplify my life, I’ve just completed a second step: decluttering my home. I’ve gone through my whole house, separating everything into four different piles: Keep, Donate, Recycle, and Trash.
I was ruthless when going through my house, and made sure to keep only what I KNEW I would use/wear. I am very pleased to say I have one 10 gallon tub of trash, one 20 gallon tub of recyclables, and four 20 gallon tubs of donatable items.
The point of this, of course, was not to see how much stuff I could get rid of, but rather to go through everything in my home and keep only the items I need. While I am sure I thought I was very diligent in trying to remove the the extra clutter from my house, I’m sure that this will be an ongoing process. At least this is a start. I can definitely say my house is much more spacious and organized, which makes me feel much calmer.
