3/10/2023 0 Comments Minimalist declutter checklist![]() I started my minimalist journey while moving across states. I chose the latter.Īsk yourself this: is this my style? And is it something I actually see myself wearing? With one, you end up with way too many clothes with the latter, you end up with space and clarity. I used to think thrifting was so exciting – I remember getting excited about how many things you could buy for a mere $20.įor me, deciding to declutter came down to a mindset shift- switching up the game from from “ what bargains can I find?” to “what can I let go of?!” ![]() It’s easy to justify the “hoarding” mindset with clothes because it feels thrifty and maybe even eco-conscious, steering you away from fast fashion. Most of the time, that day never actually comes. Sometimes, we hold onto specific attire for AGES because we have every intention of wearing it – someday. I’ve been there and done that which is why my wardrobe was at the top of my list of the first things I decluttered as a minimalist. Getting hand-me-downs can be exciting, especially if someone has excellent style. That’s exactly why furniture was one of the first things I decluttered.Īre you someone who takes in a lot of hand-me-downs? If you want to know what to declutter first for the BIGGEST impact- take a look at the furniture. Have you ever gone thrift shopping and seen low-cost furniture you didn’t need but convinced yourself to find a use for it because it’s just SO cheap? – I have. Not even heirlooms, just random furniture.Īt some point, I had to choose between holding tight to my “have it, use it” mindset and my ability to walk freely throughout my living room.Īnother struggle many of us have is the love of a GOOD DEAL. Somehow, my family ended up with a lot of furniture–which meant a lot of things got passed down to my sister and me. ![]() It stems from the mindset that if you have it, you HAVE to use it. Whether you’re shoving furniture in a closet to be used as an extra shelf or setting up documents and papers into an intricate filing cabinet that gets stored in an old wooden cabinet– This could be the hand-me-down you acquired or a gift you had zero use for but figured out a way to use it– even though you didn’t need it in the first place.Ĭonvincing yourself to find a use for an unnecessary item will always result in trying to find a place to incorporate it into your space. Much like with the extra decor items–you think you need to use them, but you don’t! We’ve all faced that one piece of extra furniture that we hate but feel obligated to put somewhere.
