Introduction

I’m a cat person. I’ve always loved cats, and I’ve had them in my life for as long as I can remember. But lately, it’s not working out between my husband and me and our cat. Our feline friend has taken over our lives. We’re both working full-time jobs, so how does this happen? How do we figure out how to get rid of the clutter in our home before it gets too bad? Well, here are some ideas that have worked for me:

I love my cat, but it’s not working out.

I wish I could say the same about my clutter problem.

My husband and I have been trying to get rid of some clutter in our lives for a while now. We’re aiming for a more minimalist lifestyle that will make us happier, healthier and wealthier; but it’s not easy and we haven’t made much progress so far.

I’ve had this problem before with other things too (like how many socks do you really need?), but never with an animal friend – until now!

What else is in my life that isn’t working out?

What else is in your life that isn’t working out?

If you’re anything like me, there are probably a few things you can do something about—but maybe not quite enough to make it through a full-blown purge. For example, I have these pants new pants that I got at the Gap one day when I was feeling adventurous and they were on sale or something. They’re okay but they’re just… not right for my body type (long legs with no hips). So these pants sit in my closet taking up space because I don’t have anything else to wear! What’s more: if someone comes over unexpectedly and sees them hanging there, would they think “wow! She must really love those pants!” or would they be horrified by their presence?

What can I do to get rid of the clutter in my life?

There are many things you can do to get rid of the clutter in your life. You need to be ruthless and not let it build up again. If something doesn’t work, get rid of it. If something isn’t important enough for you to keep around, then get rid of it! It is okay to toss things out if they don’t serve a purpose for you anymore.

If you want your home to be neat and orderly, then practice these strategies:

• Donate items that are still useful but no longer needed by anyone else. This will give them another chance at life while freeing up space in your home!
• Throw away broken items that cannot be fixed or repaired easily with replacement parts (e.g., an old blender).

How can I keep the clutter away for good?

The best way to keep clutter at bay is to create a home that you love, and that encourages you to keep it clean. If your home has a lot of space and plenty of storage, it will be much easier for you to maintain your belongings.

If the idea of cleaning out drawers or closets makes your skin crawl because there’s too much stuff in them, consider keeping only what fits comfortably in those spaces. As long as everything has its place and is easily accessible, there’s no real reason why things can’t stay neatly organized by room type (e.g., “kitchen” or “bedroom”).

Once you’ve created a streamlined space that doesn’t require constant maintenance from yourself or others around you, try your best not to start accumulating more things than necessary—especially if they’re ones that don’t serve any purpose except taking up space! If something comes into your life unexpectedly (like an old toy from childhood), put it somewhere where it won’t get lost among all the other stuff already living in your house!

It’s time for me to get rid of the clutter in my life.

I’m a big fan of the phrase “less is more” and I think that when it comes to clutter, there’s no question that more is less. When you have too much stuff in your life, it makes you unhappy. It weighs you down. It causes distractions and stresses. The more clutter there is, the less happy you are!

So today I’m starting a new blog series called Less Is More as part of my continuing effort to get rid of the cluttered things inside my mind and around my house so that I can feel happier and more at peace with myself and my surroundings.

Conclusion

I know it’s hard to let go, but you’ll feel so much better once you do. Clutter is so toxic, and it makes us feel really stressed out. I’ve been there many times myself! But now that I’ve learned how to get rid of the clutter in my life, I don’t want to go back!
