When we are away
from home and the clutter it is easy to buy something and think it will fit
right in at the house. But our homes are
so often filled with these types of items, the impulse purchases we make
because we couldn’t resist acquiring them.
A huge part of clutter management involves being brutally stringent
about what comes through the door.
When you are
out and about and something catches your eye ask yourself these questions
before you walk away with a new trinket…
“Do I truly
need this? Can I live without it? Is this thing necessary for me to live my
life?”
“Do I have a
place for this item to reside?”
You must be
honest from the beginning. If you
answered “no” to any of the questions above the item should not find a home
with you! If you absolutely need to
bring something back and space is limited decide before you leave the store
what item at home can go to make room for the new purchase.
