Throwing Things Away

Don't let your guilt about TRASH keep you from letting go of clutter.

From Clutter-Keeper to Not Quite a Minimalist

I have helped clients sort through and organize all kinds of spaces—garages, offices, bedrooms, barns, basements, sheds, playrooms, service vehicles, and even an RV. I have learned no matter what space we are organizing and whether my clients are high-income or low-income, they ALL have a TON OF STUFF. While helping them go through everything and make decisions about what to keep or sell, I realized that almost everyone has the same struggles with letting go of clutter.

Let Go of Guilt

Instead of focusing on guilt, try to reframe your mindset. Consider the positive impact that letting go can have on your life. Donating or selling items can provide a new home for your possessions where they'll be appreciated and used. It also creates space and calm in your home, which can have a positive impact on your mental well-being.

It’s Not Magic, It’s Maintenance

Some clients need help with strategy for how to tackle organizing. Some clients need inspiration for organizing solutions that will work for them. Some clients need to allow themselves time to do the work.
