The following recommendations will help! I know it can feel overwhelming if you are just starting to simplify your life AND I know what it&#8217;s like on the other side of decluttering your home, simplifying your debt, work, relationships and much more. It&#8217;s better. Way better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to consider before you declutter your home is this: What if this were the last time you had to declutter, or the last time this had to be a bigger decluttering project. Applying the simplicity lens that you have on your stuff to your whole life will help you shift your mindset. Living with less means less cleaning, organizing and managing which results in less stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-ways-to-declutter-your-home-when-you-don-t-feel-like-it\">8 Ways to Declutter Your Home When You Don\u2019t Feel Like It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-remember-that-why-is-more-important-than-how\">1. Remember that why is more important than how. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know how to declutter (and if you aren\u2019t sure,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bemorewithless.com\/declutter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here\u2019s a list of articles to help<\/a>), but knowing why will make it stick. <em>Why<\/em> do you want to declutter your home? <em>Why<\/em>\u00a0do you want to live with less?\u00a0<em>Why<\/em> are you making space \u2014 what are you making room for in your life? Consider this thoughtfully or you may find you are just making space for more stuff. So many times, I decluttered only to dash to Target and fill up the empty space. Instead, identify your whys and instead of making space for more stuff, you will make space for more life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-start-with-a-challenge-to-make-it-more-fun\">2. Start with a challenge to make it more fun. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding or creating a decluttering challenge to declutter your home will help you get over the &#8220;but I don&#8217;t feel like it&#8221; hump. Otherwise, you might procrastinate. Below are a few challenges to help you get started but if you get stuck, Psychologist and Procrastination Coach, Dr. Christine Li suggests these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.procrastinationcoach.com\/7-easy-ways-to-overcome-your-procrastination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">7 easy ways to overcome your procrastination.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bemorewithless.com\/anti-procrastinate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anti-Procrastination Decluttering Challenge<\/a>: 10 spaces. 10 minutes. 100 items.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theminimalists.com\/game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Minimalism Game:<\/a> Find a friend, family member, or coworker who\u2019s willing to minimize their stuff with you next month.\u00a0Each person gets rid of one thing on the first day of the month.

Declutter your home in stages.<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with the easy stuff to build your decluttering muscles. Items such as duplicates, decorative items, kitchen equipment you haven\u2019t used in years, things that don&#8217;t fit, things you don\u2019t use or enjoy, and things in storage that haven\u2019t been part of your life for a long time will be easier to release. Each thing you let go of will give you the strength and motivation to let go of the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-invite-everyone-to-the-party\">4. Invite everyone to the party. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homesandgardens.com\/interior-design\/decluttering-tips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">begin decluttering<\/a>, invite your family to join in. Don\u2019t force, invite. Start with your own personal items. The easiest place to look for clutter is in someone else\u2019s space but resist. Don&#8217;t worry about your partner&#8217;s closet or your kid&#8217;s toys at first. Let family members work on decluttering their own things at their own pace. If you want people to see the joy in less, live joyfully with less yourself. <a href=\"https:\/\/bemorewithless.com\/hunt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Try a minimalist scavenger hunt<\/a> to make it more fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-let-go-of-the-sentimental-stuff-too\">5. Let go of the sentimental stuff too. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The last stage of decluttering is usually saved for the more challenging items, including the expensive and sentimental stuff. If the expensive things have no meaning or purpose in your life, sell them, and use the proceeds to pay down debt or donate to a cause you care about. As sentimental as I am, <a href=\"https:\/\/bemorewithless.com\/living\/\">I stopped holding on to things like journals and other sentimental items<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are saving items to pass down to your children,\u00a0they probably don\u2019t want them. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/boomers-unwanted-inheritance\/2015\/03\/27\/0e75ff6e-45c4-11e4-b437-1a7368204804_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Washington Post article<\/a> called \u201c<em data-redactor-tag=\"em\">Stuff it: Millennials Nix their Parent\u2019s Treasures<\/em>\u201d paints a compelling picture for parents who are holding on: \u201cAs baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, start cleaning out attics and basements, many are discovering that millennials, born between 1980 and 2000, are not so interested in the lifestyle trappings or nostalgic memorabilia they were so lovingly raised with. Downsizing experts and professional organizers are comforting parents whose children appear to have lost any sentimental attachment to their adorable baby shoes and family heirloom quilts.\u201d In other words, your kid\u2019s don\u2019t want your stuff, so you can let go of it now. If you aren&#8217;t sure, ask them and believe what they tell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P.S. If your adult children want your stuff or their childhood memorabilia, give them a pick up deadline. It&#8217;s not (usually) your responsibility to store it for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-honor-the-pace-that-is-best-for-you\">6. Honor the pace that is best for you. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you are in a situation where you have to declutter your home quickly, honor the pace that is best for you. If you aren&#8217;t feeling well, rest. If you need help to declutter your home, ask for it. If your time and energy availability are low and it takes longer to declutter your home, that&#8217;s ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-trade-guilt-for-gratitude\">7. Trade guilt for gratitude. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you struggle with guilt\u00a0about letting go, holding on, money spent, or time wasted, it\u2019s time to shift every guilty thought to one of gratitude. If you are thinking, \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have spent that money?\u201d trade your thought for \u201cI\u2019m grateful that I recognize what\u2019s most important to me now.\u201d Allow your guilt to trigger gratitude and move one thought at a time from guilt to gratitude, because\u00a0you\u00a0have paid enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-celebrate-your-efforts\">8. Celebrate your efforts. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Declutter your home, or a room, or even a corner of the room, and celebrate. If you decluttered your kitchen, host a small dinner party. If your idea of celebrating is turning on music, grabbing a good book and relaxing in your newly decluttered space, do that. You deserve to celebrate your efforts in a way that resonates with you. Don&#8217;t wait until you completely declutter your home. Instead, celebrate along the way. It will make you excited for the next celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are still <a href=\"https:\/\/bemorewithless.com\/feeling-overwhelmed\/\">feeling overwhelmed<\/a> or confused about the benefits of decluttering, simply remember that your home is not a container for your stuff, but rather a place for joy and connection. I can\u2019t think of a better reason to declutter than to make room for more of that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might not feel excited to declutter your home but when it&#8217;s time, it&#8217;s time.
