Clear Space, Clear Mind
Reduce stress and chaos with these tips to bring more calm into your life.
- Commit to weekly decluttering, even if it's just a single drawer or closet.
- Start by tossing easy, obvious items (e.g., mystery cords, old takeout menus, expired products, orphan storage lids).
- Take photos of sentimental items you don't have room for, then sell, donate or toss.
- Call a local nonprofit (such as The Salvation Army or Furniture Bank) to come pick up items for donation.
- Be honest with yourself. Does an item still fit into your lifestyle? Or do you feel "obligated" to keep it?
Don't Forget to Do a Digital Detox
Put on a favourite show or music and then...
- Clean out your inbox: set a timer for 15 minutes.
- Unsubscribe from newsletters, promotions, etc.
- Delete apps you don't use.
