The adage, “The time will pass anyway,” holds true in many aspects of life, including decluttering your home. Embracing this concept can help you achieve your goals by taking small steps each day.
The 365 Less Things technique is a year-long method that involves removing one item from your home daily. This incremental approach allows you to declutter at a manageable pace, gradually creating a more organized space.
To start, set a recurring reminder on your phone to develop the habit. Focus on one area or room at a time and clear out one item per day. Even on days when you don’t feel particularly inspired, make an effort to find one thing to remove.
As you progress, you’ll need to decide on what to do with the items you discard. Consider donating, selling, or discarding them. To expedite the process, use three bins for keeping, donating, and selling. Empty the bins regularly to keep your space clutter-free.
The beauty of this method lies in its gradual nature. It’s less overwhelming than tackling large-scale decluttering projects, and it allows you to build a lasting habit of removing unnecessary items from your home. In a year’s time, you’ll have transformed your space and established a routine that will benefit you for years to come.
