1. How do you store things when you have no space?
Creating shelves
If you want to optimize the space in your small room, I recommend installing shelves in different places. For example, create one or two shelves at the space between your bedroom door and ceiling or perimeter walls. Use the space for storing items you rarely need.
Hooks
Hooks can help make the most out of your small space for storage. You can place them in cabinets and hang various items, including utensils, cleaning towels, and chopping boards.
Buy stackable chairs
Stackable chairs can be placed onto each other as stored as one thing. They are great for saving space, especially if you do not require a full dining room setting. It can offer more space, and only be needed when having guests.
2. How do I declutter my clothes fast?
Try out less worn clothes
Does your closet contain a few clothes you have not worn for a long time? Pull them out one by one and wear each one for a whole day. If you feel great and think it is worth wearing it more often, code it in your head. It helps have a recent memory of the clothes, making it easier to decide during decluttering.
Donate
Check out in your locality to see if there is a charity organization or second hand shop that can accept your fairly used clothes. You do not know how confident or fabulous someone may feel in your donation. You may choose to sell them but be cautious because it may never happen. For example, I thought of it at one time and ended up hanging on to them for a long time because of procrastination. It is why I always encourage my clients to give out and forget.
Eliminate immediately
If you want to declutter clothes quickly, take them out for disposal immediately without second thoughts. Delaying may be followed by other negative emotions, such as, guilt that might stop you. Suppose they should head for donation or garbage, do it without wasting time.
3. How can you declutter your home when you’re feeling overwhelmed?
First pick a place that will give the biggest difference
Do you want to declutter but feel overwhelmed? Well, think of that place that will make the most significant difference. Is it the kitchen or bedroom? It should be the place making you unhappy every time you get there. Clear it and the result will motivate you to do more without being anxious.
Avoid thoughts of perfection
In decluttering, please understand that just getting started alone is progress. Do not be overwhelmed since you think starting requires time- it may never happen. Do anything without expecting perfection. Even the best photos on the internet were taken after moving something out of the background.
Set a timer and make it short
Telling your mind that you can do something in a short time makes it appear easy, thus motivating to start. Therefore, set your timer for 10 or 15 minutes and be sure to stick to it. If you do this, being overwhelmed will be something in history.
4. What is the 20/20 rule for decluttering?
It states that you can release something if its replacement can happen in less than 20 minutes and requires less than $20.
5. ’10 top decluttering mistakes’
Being unrealistic
Perhaps you have watched someone on the internet decluttering in 30 minutes and think you can do the same. Well, decluttering takes more time. Expect coming across numerous things you did not think about before starting, including newspapers and old letters or papers that require sorting.
Being undecided
While some people advise on developing a ‘maybe’ pile if you cannot decide the things to eliminate, I find it misleading because it may only leave you with your clutter form without knowledge of how such items got in those locations. I always recommend being decisive and letting go of items not in use or need.
Starting without knowing how it will end
Decluttering process requires you to identify a few things before getting started for success. For example, what do you want to achieve? How do you want this space to work? What is needed for it to happen? If you get all answers, then it will be easy to know what to keep or eliminate.
Replacing items before decluttering
Shopping before decluttering potentially denies the chance of getting exactly what is needed. Yo may buy what appears attractive and forget what your space wants. Yo may also choose buying storage items that will temporarily store items you needed to declutter, which might re-emerge later and take you back to the start.
Clutter transfer
If you move clutter to a different location, that is not decluttering. The only way to declutter is getting rid of it because it is not useful anymore. Transferring is a way of procrastination and it will not be productive.
Decluttering for others
Getting rid of items in place of someone else may create rifts in relationships because different people want to do it differently. It may appear forced because that person maybe wanted to keep holding onto a certain item that you took out.
Not decluttering
Avoiding decluttering is a big mess in your life. It would help to understand that decluttering brings peace and adds comfort in your life. Please do it because it is worth the effort, energy, and time.
Not accomplishing what you started
Some individuals may begin decluttering and stop the process before the end. They give varied reasons, such as, being overwhelmed or getting busy. Others say they did not see progress. But I always insist on consistency and overtime, you will see the results.
Getting distracted
During decluttering, you may find items in an area they do not belong, which can move you to straighten another place. I always avoid destruction by sending those around to place such items in their areas.
Keeping items for just in case
Most people make this mistake saying that they may need an item someday. Well, that day may never come. Decide once and get rid immediately. If you will need something related to it in future, tell yourself that it can always be replaced or solved.
GP
The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
