You would believe me – after all, I run a business, I homeschool, and the weight of all family responsibilities rests on my shoulders. So why is decluttering so hard?ĭread ~ If you ask me why I haven’t yet organized my garage, I would probably want to answer that I haven’t had time. What’s up with that? Why Is Decluttering So HARD?
So… we all want to declutter, but we all put it off. When we have less stuff and become conscious buyers and conscious keepers, we actually feel self-assured that we don’t need things to be valuable, worthy, or successful. When you declutter your home will be cleaner, more organized, safer, and healthier, and you will save time and stress because you won’t have to take care of things you don’t use or hunt for them amidst the chaos. Simplify, simplify, simplify! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand.“ Benefits of Decluttering
I like this quote by Henry David Thoreau: “ Our life is frittered away by detail. When I realized that every dollar I spent in the $1 Target aisle was costing me my next trip to visit my family in the Dominican Republic, it wasn’t just about wanting my house to be clutter-free or about living a minimalist lifestyle – it was costing me experiences my soul craved for and cherished relationships! I started to reflect on the actual cost of what I buy and don’t need or what I keep and don’t sell. The more we buy, the safer we feel, and the more trapped we are. It’s hard to get rid of stuff and it’s even harder not to accumulate more stuff throughout the year. I am making it my goal to have less stuff and have more experiences. It’s even harder to bring yourself to do it when you have resistance. Educate your significant other, roommate, and/or your kids about ways they can help keep up the simplicity.
