“The best way to find out what we really need is to get rid of what we don’t.” – Marie Kondo
Decluttering isn’t just about tidying up; it’s about creating a space that nurtures peace and productivity. Let’s introspect, how much attention and effort do we spend in making our surroundings clutter free?
“Decluttering is confronting your past decisions.” I read it somewhere and it hit me like a brick on my head. Reflecting on this; from the past 1 year, I have noticed a profound connection between my mood and the surroundings I am in. Vibrant colours, clean surfaces and organized wardrobes give me a sense of peace. I like to sometimes stand in admiration, the organization that I have done for a small corner – it uplifts my spirits. How many of you remember the movie “102 Not Out”? Making way for new things in life, we have to let go of old things!

The Internet is full of hundreds of tips, but making a plan that works for one is the key. Here are 3 tips that my family follows.
- My husband is a fan of calendars. We have scheduled the first Sunday of the month for our family (including kids) to clean up our sections for an hour.
- Before making a new purchase; whether it’s clothes, shoes or an appliance – we sell or donate or discard items that are no longer needed or need replacements for efficiency’s sake.
- We emphasize to keep the stuff back to its original place for next time use.
