Spring is on the way. Many of us, after a long winter indoors, look around and find our spaces cluttered. Is your winter gear, including Christmas decorations making it difficult to get vehicles in the garage? Are Christmas presents still floating around without permanent homes? Is clutter affecting your well-being?
According to psychologists, clutter can affect your stress levels and compromise your mental and even your physical health. It can draw your attention from the more important things you want to do. It can make your feel anxious. It can even make you feel guilty that you have lost control of your environment.
While it can be overwhelming to think of tackling your whole house, a simple trick is to break up the job into small parts. Getting one space in order can inspire you to continue until your home becomes an inviting oasis.
For example, it can be liberating to get your vehicles out of the driveway and into a clean garage. Also, with spring coming, it is time to put the winter gear away and bring out the gardening tools, bicycles and sports equipment.
Here are a couple of suggestions to help you get a handle on the clutter:
- Organize your things into piles – the keepers, the trash, the items to donate. You might also want to make a pile of “sale” items for that garage sale you have been planning for years.
- Take the trash out.
- Deliver the items to be donated (or call for a pick-up from one of the local charities in your area.)
- Find a good date for your garage sale.
- Finally, call Garage Store for help finding the storage solutions that make the most sense for the items you have decided to keep.
