Lockdown 236

Lockdown Day 236 - 17 November 2020
Still on the declutter topic, there are some super tips I came across in the Kondo archives.
#Tackle categories not rooms,, i.e. sort out all the books in your house, or all the media in your house together/all at once. 
#Respect your things. They may be lifeless but squishing them in a cluttered closet does not preserve or respect them. 

#Nostalgia is NOT your friend. It is a dumpster chute that swallows up time. And best not let your family see what you are throwing out. Take pictures of the best old things and put it in a frame. 
#Purging is the best feel-good exercise ever! When in doubt, chuck it out! 

#Fold, don't hang. This is the most amazing thing I've learnt from her. And it really works! Take a look at the video at the end of the post and prepare to be amazed! 
#Hanging items' hems should slope from longest to shortest. Dump the colour coding, it never works long term. 

#Fall in love with your cupboard again. There's nothing like opening uo a clean uncluttered cupboard with breathing space between items. 
#Rediscover your style. Go for the forgotten pieces you bought because they sparked joy. 

And the result after a month? 
Getting dressed is a joy, identifying your wardrobe needs is easier and no more mindless retail therapy. 



And if all this scares you, renember the joy of the Lord is your strength! (Nehemiah 8:10) Spiritual decluttering is almost always one of the positive outcomes from physical decluttering. It refreshes and redefines your relationship with God. And sparks joy!
