Make a New Year’s Resolution to Declutter Your Life

The simple of act of clearing clutter can really do wonders for your life. To declutter your life is to make a clear statement that you refuse to put up with being disorganized.

You have probably been thinking about reducing clutter in your life for some time now but just haven’t got around to it. It is really much easier to continue to accumulate your possessions and create a mess in the process. Or is it really easier to continue with your disorganized lifestyle?

If you exert some additional effort today or set aside the rest of the week to get organized, life in the long run will be much easier.

Think of some of the wonderful benefits that you will be able to reap when you restore your home to a clean and organized state.

Don’t spend another minute looking for lost items
Hours spent looking for that item you need right away but can’t find can be both exhausting and frustrating. Stick to the basic rule of having a home for each item and get into the habit of locating similar items together and you will never have to spend another minute looking for lost items. Another important rule to remember is to return that item to its home. Don’t be tempted to leave it around. Because the next time you find yourself needing that item, for one reason or another you won’t be able to find it.

Creating a Sense of Relaxation
Being able to walk into a room without having junk strewn everywhere would be a dream come true. In your current cluttered state, be honest and ask yourself how relaxed you could possibly feel being surrounded with lots of mess. Once you have thrown away items in your bedroom or living room that you no longer require, you can make a start on designing your room and adding a few touches to create a more relaxing ambience. Think about creating a special nook for reading if you enjoy curling up in a comfortable chair to read a juicy novel at the end of a busy day.

Reducing Stress in Your Life
Daily stress in our lives can build up incrementally each day. By reducing clutter in our lives, it’s one less headache to deal with. We don’t really think being disorganized should create much mayhem in our lives. But it can and certainly does cause stress. So take some actions now to start reducing the one stress in your life that you can control.

The Inevitable Stack
Never ever have to deal with the inevitable stack of papers, newspapers and magazines again. Wouldn’t that be nice? If you are a paper clutter addict, you will be able to relate to this one. As weeks go by, you stack old issues of newspapers and magazines in your basket or up on your shelves. As more weeks go by, you experience a certain reluctance to throw any of it away. Just in case is your usual reason. Another common excuse is not having quite caught up with reading back issues of your favorite magazine or newspaper.

Think about decluttering your life to reap the many bountiful rewards that come with it. It’s going to be the start of a New Year soon, so why not make it one of your New Year’s resolutions.
