Take This Self-Quarantine Time to Declutter and Simplify Your Life
6 steps to get started
The first step in crafting a life you want is to get rid of everything you don’t. ~ Joshua Becker
Whether you have decided to self-quarantine, social distance yourself, or you are being cautious due to underlying health conditions, you might find yourself with some restlessness at not being able to go about your regular routines.
Why not use this time to declutter and simplify your surroundings? Even if you had a yard sale last summer or regularly clean out the junk from closets and drawers, you’ll be surprised at how much has accumulated again. No excuses now — you have time on your hands and limited distractions to dive in deep.
But, if you have been burying yourself for some time you may feel overwhelmed or helpless, asking where do I start? Don’t worry! You don’t need the cast of Hoarders to rescue you. Like minimalism itself — the steps to getting there are S-I-M-P-L-E
S — start with something easy
I — imagine where you want to be
M — make steady progress
P — pare down and pare down again
L — look for ways to bless others
E — engage in the process
