“But, clutter is already in my house!” Well, this new habit will keep clutter out but it also can get clutter out, when it is there. All you have to do is start wherever you are today.

Clutter has a life of its own, doesn’t it? It grows! When left unchecked, soon you will not be able to find your stuff. Hey, there might be places in your home where you cannot MOVE! Last week we talked about organizing with 5 quick steps to take control. They work so, use them! This lesson presents a habit that, if you get serious about it, will keep clutter from piling up ever again.

Simple Rule = 1 item in? 2 items go out!
I just used this decluttering technique with some towels. Take a look at the frayed edges of my old towels. New ones were long overdue! I love my new, fluffy blue towels. They are luxurious.
Now, do I want to put those old towels back in my closet? No way.
So, I have 3 choices on what to do with them:
- Keep them in the garage for rags.
- Donate them to an animal shelter or veterinarians office (that’s my preference.)
- Or, toss them.
If I cannot get to a donation location in the next week, I will be throwing them out. If I do not get them out of my house quickly, they will stay forever!
Tip: Taking your time can turn this new habit into a nice intention that never comes to pass – beware!
Have you tried the 1 in, 2 out method? How did it go? Fun, isn’t it!
Enjoy!
Using a really great vacuum is inspiring! 🌟 Enjoy using it!
