Are You A Pack Rat?

Are You A Pack Rat?

Reasons you might be hanging onto stuff:

• I might need it one day.

• A friend gave it to me.

• It’s an heirloom.

• I might lose weight.

• It cost a lot of money

• Emotionally attached

Why “Living with Less is More”?

• Physical clutter creates mental clutter.

• Gain more time

• Reduce debt

• Improve quality of life

• Create peace in your life

• Life is simplified

• Less clutter to clean and organize

Minimizing Solutions:

• Take a picture of sentimental items to help let go before donating.

• Purge regularly. Find a space to create a donate bin/bag such as in a garage or closet. Every time you buy new clothing think of purging an item into your donate bin.

• Create a list for grocery items and only buy what’s on the list (put blinders on) Lol.

• Organize small spaces first such as a drawer or cabinet area in order to gain confidence before doing a whole room. Use the Sort and Purge process.

• Use the “Flip Hanger” method to determine what clothes to purge. Hang all your clothes backwards and then after 6 months see what clothes you haven’t worn and then donate or toss.

• Quit buying impulsively. Its proven that consumers get a rush when purchasing things that make you feel good but it’s only temporary and so that begins a bad and expensive habit
