How Decluttering Can Help Reduce Stress by Creating a More Organized and Calming Environment

February 23, 2023

Why an Annual Declutter frees up space in your home or workspace and offers you peace of mind.

Reduces stress: The slow build-up of clutter over the year can make you feel overwhelmed and anxious. Decluttering can help reduce stress by creating a more organized and calming environment, weather that is at home or work environment. It is especially valuable if those two spaces are one.

Save time: It may seem obvious, but when your space is cluttered, it can take longer to find what you need. Decluttering can save you time and stress by making it easier to locate and access the items you need.

Increases productivity: A cluttered environment can be very full and distracting, making it harder to focus on the task at hand. By decluttering, you can create aa clean, more productive workspace or more liveable home.

Make cleaning easier: When there is less stuff to clean and organize, it becomes much easier to maintain a clean and tidy space. The task of cleaning is no longer as big or daunting if you have decluttered and kept your area clean and free.

Create more space: Decluttering can help create more physical space, which can be especially important for those living in smaller homes or apartments.

Save money: By decluttering, you can identify items that you no longer need or use, which can help you avoid purchasing duplicates or unnecessary items in the future.

What are the current trends in the decluttering movement?

Decluttering has been a popular trend in recent years as people focus on simplifying their lives and creating a more organized and stress-free living space. In 2023, there are a number of ways to approach this and here are some of the latest decluttering trends:

Minimalism: Minimalism is a popular approach to decluttering where the focus is on having only essential items and getting rid of anything that does not serve a valid role. Seasonal items can be stored off site safely in a Self Storage facility.

The “KonMari” Method: This method, popularized by Japanese organizing consultant Marie Kondo, involves holding each item in your home and asking yourself whether it brings you joy. If not, it’s time to let it go.

Sustainable Decluttering: This trend emphasizes the importance of being mindful of the environmental impact of decluttering and encourages people to donate, recycle or repurpose items instead of throwing them away. Donating to local charity shops offers a second life to your unwanted good, often to those who need it the most.

Organization: Decluttering is just one part of the process. Once items are removed, people are focusing on creating an organized and functional living space that works for their needs and lifestyle.

These trends emphasise the importance of having a clutter-free and organized living space for a happier and more fulfilling life.
