Home Staging Declutters Your Life
We all have "things" in our lives, cherished possessions that are weighted with meaning, and until we understand what that meaning is, we resist dealing with the messes that surround us. Remembrance of things past can be a real deterrent to moving forward. But once we find a way to clear out what is no longer relevant to our lives--whether that is objects, activities, or even people--we open a path to look at all the parts of our lives and determine what matters to us now, not in the past or in the future.
If you're not ready to clean house drastically, there are less radical ways to begin the decluttering process. Set aside a firm, two-hour window each week devoted to the task, then start in--room by room--starting with the bathroom. Label boxes or large bags Trash, Keep, Donate, Gift, Recycle, Sell, Repair and Don't Have a Clue Now. This last is for items that would halt the decluttering process if you had to debate them. Use clear plastic bags when it's important to see what's inside, so you won't throw out good things by accident.
Discarding "important" papers is another big challenge, but the 80/20 rule generally works: you can safely let go of 80 percent of the papers you've kept. If by mistake you throw out something you need, such as insurance policies or appliance instructions, you can likely retrieve that information online.
The process of purging and paring is liberating. When the unneeded possession are gone, you have cleared out space not only in your house but in your life.
What you discover, as you begin to declutter the space around you, is that as your personal environment changes, your choices broaden, life feels more manageable, and your surroundings become better suited to who you are now--and what you're aiming for in the future.

What a great post. Doing this with your home is kind of like doing a detox for your body. It really helps with decluttering the mind. I need to move soon so I'll make sure to get rid of everything that I don't really need!
