Having excessive clutter isn’t just a way to welcome critters into your home, it can also aggravate existing stress and anxiety. Decluttering your home will create a calmer, more peaceful environment for you and your family to enjoy. Of course, you can’t always tackle everything all at once, which is why at Mr. Junk we believe in taking things in manageable chunks. Check out our tips for simple actions to declutter your home for a clearer mind.
Start by forgiving yourself. It’s easy for clutter and anxiety to become overwhelming. Don’t sit around feeling guilty or ashamed! Remember that everyone makes mistakes, and what matters is how you choose to fix them. Take a minute to breathe before you get started.
Take your time and don’t wear yourself out. Set a timer for ten or twenty minutes, and tidy up for the whole of it. You’ll be surprised how much you can get done in such a small amount of time. Do that every day and you’ll be surprised at how much you’ve de-cluttered by the end of the week.
Next time you put on a piece of clothing that doesn’t fit or doesn’t look good, don’t put it back! Donate it so someone else can make use of it and you can have more space for clothes that you can actually wear. Socks with holes? Shoes without soles? Throw them out.
And of course, don’t forget to call Mr. Junk! We’ll handle your junk in an environmentally-friendly way, and we’ll even sweep up after ourselves.
