How to purge 100 things from your home TODAY! If you’d like to get a little more organized, clear some of your clutter, and whip your home into shape (but just aren’t sure where to start) keep reading! I know it’s often easier to push things off until “later” - whenever “later” is - but I can speak from loads and loads of experience (in my own life and helping others get more organized) that once you actually bite the bullet and get started, the project at hand usually goes faster than you initially anticipated, and it’s not nearly as overwhelming as you made it out to be in your head! Instead of doing SOMETHING, you decide you don’t have time right now, so you put it off until “LATER”? These thoughts are very overwhelming for almost anyone - enough to paralyze even the most motivated person. You might look around at your house, your garage, your office, or your closet, and wonder how things got so bad, what your first steps of action should be, where you should start, or how you will ever finish. When it comes to purging, the hardest part is often JUST GETTING STARTED! Would you think about how great it might feel for your home to be 100 items “lighter” but not actually do anything to take action? Would you feel overwhelmed or say “no way, not possible”? Once you get over the initial shock of parting with things you have held onto for years it's a joyous and somewhat addictive process.What would you think if I told you to purge 100 things from your home today? So the quantity of stuff I have is gradually reducing but the average 'niceness' and personal value of what I keep is increasing. And I've actually found that quite often it ends up being one thing in, two or three things out. It really focuses my mind when I see something I would like to think what I would give away in order to have it? I've just bought a lovely pair of Superga trainers but in order to have them an old pair of Skechers had to go. For every new thing I buy something old has to be sold or donated or binned. The decluttering is still a work in progress but one rule I've found helpful is the one in, one out rule. It's been a pleasure to buy new things and my style has completely changed. Even so, I don't regret the clothes I gave away because I didn't think they would ever fit me again. The more I get rid of, the easier the process becomes.ĭuring this process I have (coincidentally) lost weight and dropped 3 dress sizes. For example, I have a pair of diamond studs and I am now wearing them every day because I just left them in all the time.Įver since I took on the thankless task of clearing out my (hoarder) mum's house 2 years ago I am determined I won't pass on the same burden to my own DC so have been steadily decluttering ever since.
How do I work out the size so I can sell it?Īm I nuts, or is this the best thin to do? From now on I just want to have less, but better quality. How can I sell that?Īlso, I have some nice rings from places like Swarovski. I also have a Cartier ring (makes us sound rich and we are so not!) that my DH bought me years ago before DC, and I have never worn it. If I was to sell my silver stuff, what should I do with it? It's black. It also feels bad selling things I have paid a lot of money for. So, AIBU to get rid of all of this stuff? It feels so wrong. Plus, if I was a size 10, I'd probably feel so fabulous, I'd treat myself. I need to lose weight, but feel it is wrong to hang on to my size 10 stuff. I spend my life at work (uniform), or working out (gym gear), doing chores (jeans, casual trainers and top), and the very occasional meal out (smart casual). I buy things that I think are nice, but they are not really compatible with my lifestyle, and I don't wear them. I've cleaned it, then it goes black quickly again. The one I am most embarrassed about is I have a lot of nice silver jewellery that I have never worn, and it is from a very posh shop, and it is all black.
A designer bag that is a bit of a mad colour, that I never use. Not worn them for 7 years! Coloured leather gloves that I am never going to wear. For example, Ralph Lauren chinos that are 2 sizes too small that I am keeping for when I fit into them. I don't have loads and loads of things, but I have a lot of things I am not using. I want to get rid of 80% of my stuff as in clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery, hats and other things. I need online counselling to either support or stop me from what I am about to do.
