It is important to understand that cluttering is an exciting process, and you should not be afraid of it. Getting rid of anything in your life makes it only easier. Sometimes, a large number of things lie idle and bring you absolutely no joy. However, this happens not only with things, but it is important to start with your environment, where you spend most of your life.
Instruction manual
1
So, with the awareness of the importance of getting rid of unnecessary things, you first need to choose the area where you will, so to speak, clean up. Taking the trash bag, go through this area, simultaneously inspecting and collecting surface debris. For example, empty bottles, candy wrappers, checks, newspapers and magazines of the old issue.
2
Pay attention to broken things. Items that are used directly by you, for example, dishes must be discarded. If you expected to fix any broken item, but did not do it in the last 2 months, also throw it away.
3
Next, mentally subdivide this area into smaller ones. Start with the top shelves and walls. On the upper shelves most often accumulate things that are used very rarely or not used at all. It is important to distinguish things that simply do not need constant use from those that are unnecessary specifically for you, because for each person the set of necessary items is unique. Similar things are important to find analogues, if they really could be useful. After that, select one of the two and remove the unnecessary. For example, a new set of dishes will completely replace the one you are currently using.

Walls are very easy to litter. When you hang something on the walls, it simply merges with the general background. Old calendars, notes, paintings, and other attributes of the interior, which do not bring you joy at all, urgently need to be removed. Do not be afraid to part with your own or other people's creativity. If this is really an important thing - put it in a special box or present.
5
Then move on to other furniture. Here organizers can come into play if you already had experience with them. It is important not to abuse them, otherwise they will also turn into rubbish, which you could do without. For each thing that aroused your suspicion, ask the question: “Can I do without it?”, “Have I used this thing in the last 2 months?”, “Does it bring me happiness?” and others. This will help to finally make sure that it is useless or, conversely, start using it again.
6
Pay particular attention to your wardrobe. Divide the clothes into seasons and organize them with bags or boxes. After starting with the season that awaits you on the street, start clotting. Using the above questions, you need to separate what you need and what you need to get rid of. Moving from one season to another, do not forget about shoes and related accessories.

After you have accumulated a bunch of unnecessary things to you, we begin to distribute them. We take boxes or packages, which we will divide into three groups: “throw out”, “sell / give” and “think”. Surprisingly, when rasplumyvaniya you can find a lot of usable things and sell them, give both new and old things, because there are certainly people who need them. The main thing is not to forget about their existence and act immediately.
8
This process may well take several weeks, the main thing is that you should be aware of what you are doing. Do not stop halfway, but know the measure. If some things just calloused your eyes, then remove them from sight. Perhaps some time later you will discover them on the other hand.
note
The most important thing is a positive attitude. Do not spare yourself for the fact that you have to part with some things, but just be glad that you had them. You can’t get something without giving in return, so get rid of unnecessary things without regret and sadness.
Also, do not seek to impose a process of cluttering on your household. You need to come to this consciously and with understanding.
Useful advice

Dispose of garbage. The simplest thing is collecting waste paper, but how much use.
Understand your things more often to always know what you have and do not forget to use it.
Motivate yourself. It’s nice to feel like a hero after a good cleaning and get a reward.
