✅ 1. Start Small and Celebrate Quick Wins
Starting can feel overwhelming — that’s normal.
Choose one drawer, one shelf, or one small closet to declutter first.
Completing a small area builds momentum and confidence to tackle bigger projects later.
✅ 2. Use the “Keep, Donate, Toss” System
- Keep (things you love or use)
- Donate (items in good condition that can help others)
- Toss (broken, outdated, or no longer useful)
✅ 3. Create a Memory Box for Sentimental Items
You don’t have to throw away every sentimental item.
Create one designated box for keepsakes that truly matter — old photographs, special gifts, treasured notes. Read more about ‘The Emotional Benefits of Letting Go After 60.
✅ 4. Gift Items to Loved Ones Now
Passing down heirlooms while you’re here allows you to:
- Share the stories behind the pieces
- Create joyful moments with family
- Ensure your treasures are cherished
✅ 5. Schedule Regular “Simplify Sessions”
Rather than one overwhelming weekend of decluttering, schedule weekly 30-minute sessions.
Consistency is key.
You’ll be amazed how much lighter your home (and mind) feels in just a few weeks!
Simplifying your surroundings creates space — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
By taking small, consistent steps today, you’ll set yourself up for a freer, happier next chapter.
