Tip One: Before you begin DE-cluttering make a list of all areas and stuff you want to de-clutter for that day, then set a goal as to how you will accomplish this. Don't make the mistake of choosing to DE-clutter the same day you plan on attending an important meeting like a wedding or a day before an exam, this is not wise; it will have you worked up when organizing and you probably end up doing a bad job at it because you're in a hurry to finish on time; instead do this on a free day and take your work in chunks instead of trying to DE-clutter and organize a whole house at once. Start with one room, finish and then see how much energy and time if you have got left to DE-clutter instead of disorganizing the whole house and never finishing.
Tip 2: Avoid buying things you really won't need or don't think you would use in a year's time. If you have a habit of saving everything you see or touch for example, holding onto grocery bags from many month with no useful purpose but to keep just in case, keeping a bunch of book or clothes that you don't need just to look at, this only make you collect alot of clutter. It's okay to keep certain stuff you know you absolutely will evenly use in the near future for e.g keeping oatmeal cans to be re-used in storing dry food products or keeping collector item for special occasion if you have the need and space to store it but i find that most times if you are not consciously aware of yourself and your environment, it could easily turn into compulsive clutter collection which then turns you into a serious collecting hoard so try to keep things at a minimum--keep what you really need or what is the most Sentimental. If you feel like you have developed the habit of hoarding some of your item, get a supportive friend who understands how you feel to help you de-Clutter.
Bookcase With Storage Bins
INVEST IN NEW STORAGE ITEMS such as a new bookcase, filing cabinet, magazine rack, shoe rack, photo album or letter box. Get a container or box to throw things you dust and sort as you go through them e.g little craft items. Have a storage Box or container to store some of the things you think you would need in the near future and have a designated keep area for it. Keeping things in a closed box keeps it from dust and pest. Paper shredder comes in handy as well to shred old paper or unless documents--but be sure it's unless before shredding.
Tip 4: Have a garage sell or give away things you won't need or want anymore like old books, clothes and shoes you've out grown. Keep in mind your trash may be treasure to someone else, don't throw things away unless they are absolutely in terrible shape or you really can't find someone who could find it useful. Before you throw things in the bin, make sure they can't be recycled, given to charity or sold at a car boot sale or second-hand clothes shop. This way you help your city recycle and allow others in your community to use your trash if they find it valuable.
Tip 5: Avoid Littering after you organize your home, keep things where you want them to be so you can find them easily without wasting your precious time on earth. Don't put it away till later because it will keep on piling, it's best to start little by little, one day at a time till you finish instead of leaving it to pile for another day which then leaves you with much more work to organize.
Emotional De-cluttering: The best way to de-clutter your thoughts or feeling is to keep a journal. Get a pen and a book or even a tape recorder with a password to record your thought and feeling or even an online private journal however if you're writing some really private things or if you are a private type of person, online LiveJournal may be not an ideal thing for you if it keeps you worrying if you logged out correctly in case someone finds it. Be cautious about what you write and how you keep your live journal because you may write something out of anger that you really didn't mean just for someone to find it and end up becoming angry at you for it. For example, let's say you called your wife gay or a shallow sink and she happens to come across it, only to be hurt though you didn't mean it but unfortunately she read it and now you can't take it back but only hope they understand you really didn't mean it, that you were only letting go of your anger and didn't mean any harm, so it is wise to keep your private journal locked and personal to save you from this kinds of drama. Don't tell a friend your problem if you feel or think they would use it against without any doubts, it's best to keep your private thoughts to yourself in your journal if you ever feel this way. Your fears are not paranoia, they are a warning signal from your subconscious even if you are not aware of why, listen to your intuition--your inner voice to guide you through as you de-clutter your emotions.
Finally, note that: Is okay to get rid of over annoying or over burdening friends, it doesn't make you bad or mean, it will only give you peace of mind and more time to spend in building more meaningful relationships. keep it simple.
