The positive side of clutter
You know there is so much good you can do at the same time as getting rid of your clutter. There is the saying, one man's rags is another's riches. Sort out what is good quality clutter - would your local charity shop be interested in any chine, glass or crockery pieces? Good but old clothing can be donated. Paper, plastic and glass can be recycled. Fully working toys your kids have grown out of will be welcomed by hospitals or pre-schools. And it's funny how things which you once thought were too special to give away, suddenly don't seem special enough when donating to a good cause which is close to your heart. Think as you throw away.
I took a stack of magazines I had received over the last year by subscription to an elderly people's home. I made sure they weren't too old and in good condition. I then came home and cancelled all my subscriptions. Just more un-read junk that didn't add any value to my life. And I couldn't believe the sum of money I saved.
Trying to do some good for others or for the environment is a big feel-good plus point for you while at the same time successfully becoming clutter-free.
What's more, the free space on my book shelves suddenly became a great space for treasured artifacts I had accumulated during my earlier travels and never displayed before due to lack of space or forgetfulness that it even existed under the clutter.
