Six Steps to a Clutter-Free Life

by Maricar on February 19th, 2008

The core of our lives will be reduced to the size of a shoebox.

- Linda Lewis Griffith (marriage and family therapist)

From all the stuff we accumulate, the most important things of all, those that future generations will want to keep, will fit inside a shoebox.

That’s the idea behind Linda Lewis Griffith’s goal of decluttering her house. Here are her six ways to get rid of clutter:

  • Give things away while you are alive and well.
  • Winnow down your belongings while you are well enough to do it.
  • Separate items that belong to history.
  • Pass along belongings to the next generation.
  • Realize that most of our stuff is unimportant to the next generation.
  • Recognize that you can’t keep it all.
