While I fall into the maximalist style, I definitely get overwhelmed with clutter. While Summer is just around the corner, I want to share a bit about decluttering for all of you procrastinators, like me! If you scroll to the end, I even have a handy printable to help you in decluttering!
Decluttering as Self-Care
I feel decluttering is self-care. When overwhelmed, it makes it hard to focus on tasks we need to complete. Breaking down what we need to do, makes it easier to complete tasks like decluttering. For me, it also makes it easier to figure out what I need to do when deep cleaning as well!
To break things down, I like having charts or lists. Also, I get immense pleasure out of crossing things off a list. I am weird like that! many of the items on my decluttering list should be done at least once a week, especially the digital decluttering items I list. For example, I tend to let my old emails pile up. One step I am taking to prevent that is unsubscribing to brand emails that don’t serve me. It just becomes too much clutter for me. I also keep screenshots and photos that I don’t need, and it makes my memory on my phone almost non-existent at times. Making sure I delete those helps so I don’t get overwhelmed later.
