Streamlining Possessions for a Calm, Equilibrated Existence

As we approach the New Year, many of us are thinking about setting goals and making changes. One important step to achieving a fresh start is decluttering our homes and lives. Here are some tips and recommendations for what to declutter before 2023.

Firstly, it's important to eliminate items that no longer serve our current lifestyle. This includes clothing that no longer fits or reflects our personal style, as well as unwanted possessions such as unused musical instruments, exercise equipment, or kitchen gadgets that have been gathering dust. Letting go of these items frees up space and sharpens our focus on our current goals.

Another area to focus on is festive decorations. After the holidays, it's a good idea to declutter any sets or pieces that you no longer use or want to carry forward for the next year. This will help avoid unnecessary storage clutter.

Unwanted gifts can also be a source of clutter. If you receive gifts that don't suit you, it's better to pass them on to someone who will use and appreciate them, rather than holding onto them out of obligation or guilt. You can digitize or keep only selected special cards and letters, while recycling the rest.

Expired or unused items in bathrooms and kitchens should also be disposed of. This includes old makeup, skincare or hair products, empty containers, and accumulated kitchen clutter such as seldom-used appliances or random unused utensils. Keep only daily-use essentials on display.

Clothing and accessories should also be decluttered. Donate or discard clothes not worn in the past year, as well as cluttered piles on dressers and nightstands. Organize the keep pile neatly.

Surface clutter in common areas should also be cleared. This includes items on counters, tables, and dressers. Sort items like toys, books, and magazines into keep, donate, or trash categories and organize accordingly.

To make the decluttering process more manageable, you can use the Four Basket Method for sorting items. Categorize by keep, sell, donate, and trash during decluttering to systematically decide the fate of each item. Quickly deal with donations and sales to avoid re-cluttering.

Decluttering before the new year can help create a clutter-free and organized environment. If you are moving or rearranging your home, it's advisable to hit pause and declutter before packing things in boxes. Focus on items that no longer reflect the direction you are going in or that don't support the space anymore.

The things we surround ourselves with can hold us back from reaching our full potential. Anything that hinders our personal growth or ability to make progress should be eliminated. If you want to achieve a fresh start in the New Year, it's essential that anything that hinders your growth is added to the list of things to declutter before 2023, or it's going to eat away at your mindset and valuable time.

Finally, it's important to surround yourself with positive people who inspire you, rather than those who bring you down. Remember, a fresh start requires a fresh mind, and one of the amazing benefits of practicing clutter-free living is that it allows you to learn how to audit and be intentional about your belongings so you can effectively curate a life that supports your lifestyle, goals, and what you value most.
