Decluttering our homes regularly is important but it can feel like an overwhelming task. Our short term storage Seaford will help. Read on to find out how. 

Decluttering is a task that we should all do regularly.  It helps us to keep our homes in order, it could give us extra income if we find items we can sell and it is good for our physical and mental health. 

Within this article, we are going to delve into why we should be decluttering regularly and how our short term storage Seaford will help. 

Why Is Decluttering Good For Us? 

There are many ways in which decluttering is good for us. Within this section, we will look into some of the top reasons as to why you should be giving your home a regular declutter. 

Better Mental And Physical Health 

One of the biggest reasons that you should be having a regular declutter is that decluttering has been linked to decreased levels of stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure, lower risks of asthma and improved overall health. 

Living in a clutter-free home helps us to lead healthy and, in turn, happier lives. 

Better Focus

Clutter makes it hard to focus because your brain is taking in all the clutter that is surrounding you as you try to focus. Giving your home and workspace a declutter will allow you to focus and be more productive. 

Better Relationships

Clutter can lead to conflicts with the people you live with or, if you live alone and you have a lot of clutter, it can lead to you isolating yourself from the people who care about you.  Decluttering will help to ease any issues and will help you to feel confident to invite people around to your home. 

Higher Self-Confidence

Having a very cluttered house can make you feel out of control and it can damage your self confidence as you may be embarrassed about how cluttered your home is or because you struggle to stay organised and tidy. Decluttering will help you to improve your living space which will make you feel proud of yourself. 

How To Declutter Your Home Or Workspace 

So, now you know why decluttering is so good for you, it is time to get started. If you aren’t sure about how to get started, do not panic! Our tips below will help you to get decluttering. 

Make A Plan To Get Started

As with a lot of things, before you get started with your decluttering, it is a really good idea to make a plan of how you are going to approach it. You should think about where you want to start, when you are going to do it and how much time you want to give it each day, weekend or week. 

Choose A Decluttering Method 

There are many decluttering methods out there and it is a good idea to give a few a try until you find one that works best for you. There are many methods to choose from: 

The Four Box Method 

The Four Box Method entails you getting four boxes and label them Keep, Throw Away, Give Away and Storage. And then you go through your belongings placing each item in the correct box. 

The Packing Party Method 

This method was invented by The Minimalists and in this method, you pack away everything you own, as if you are moving house. And then you spend the next few weeks unpacking only what you really need. Things like your toothbrush, bed sheets, work clothes etc.

The Konmari Method

The KonMari Method, invented by Marie Kondo, is probably one of the most famous decluttering methods seeing as it has books and a Netflix series dedicated to it! 

But, just in case you haven’t heard of it, The Konmari Method entails you holding every item that you own and deciding if they bring you joy. Any items that don’t bring you joy should be removed from your home.

Set An Achievable Goal 

Once you have chosen a method, it is time to set an achievable goal. You do not need or want to try and declutter you home in one day or even one weekend. 

If you want to stay motivated and keep at it, you should set an achievable goal. Depending on how much clutter you have and how much time you have, one or two rooms a day is a good goal. 

Start Small And Take Your Time 

If doing it one room at a time feels too overwhelming, you can start even smaller than this. Do one drawer or one cupboard at a time. 

Also, take your time! It is absolutely fine to do one room per week. This is your decluttering project and you can do it exactly how it works for you. 

Ask For Help If Your Need It 

If you have a lot of clutter or you are simply finding it overwhelming to do it on your own, ask for help. If you live with people, you should get them involved from the start. 

Or if you live alone, you could ask family or friends for some help. Or, if you prefer, you could enlist the help of professional organisers, like Ruth from Lewes based company, RE:Organise.
