4 Questions to Ask Yourself When De-Cluttering by Marla Stone

“Getting organized is a well planned out event if you want “perpetual organization.”  Achieving long-term organization starts with understanding what you truly value in life.  The next step is to categorize every single object in your home. Once everything is categorized you want to go through every object, category by category and make good decisions about what you keep and what you will donate, trash or gift. But how do you make those good decisions? Using the exercise below will makes it easy.  Ask yourself these four questions while pondering your belongings.

  • Is it being used?  Will I use this ever?
  • Is it serving a purpose?
  • Do I love it?
  • Is it sentimental?

Having a criteria for what you keep in your real estate is important, otherwise you will find you own things that will go unused. These things take up space. So many abandoned objects just sitting around, feeling abandoned. Matter matters and it has energy and too much stagnant matter-objects are a symbol of you being stagnant.

Remember the outer if a reflection of the inner, so everything around you is a representation of how you are doing in your inner self. So lots and lots of clutter and piles, and disorganization means a chaotic you.

I have so many clients struggling to get to their daily, weekly and monthly items put away in an organized manner. They have difficulty finding things they want to use only to go and buy more stuff. They want organizing systems and methods so piles and stuffed areas are remedied for good. They want to stop tripping over items they use once or twice a year and find better storage solutions for the things they use daily. All the stuff weighing on them and around them becomes an obstacle to an ideal lifestyle. You too may have challenges with your space that are weighing you down. We have solutions and ideas that will help you get organized for good!
