How you declutter your house?

[Krabs.]

i think the solution is to buy 6 of those 5 level shelf .... movable by 4 legs not attached to wall ..... can move between rooms when needed ... bad point is our rooms already quite small still eat into the floor space

Old video from a Singaporean minimalist. Check out his other videos. Very relatable to Singapore context.

I stop buying plastic Tupperware or any plastic related products as much as possible - think bottle drinks.

not to save environment. But to save myself from ingesting micro plastics. Food products should come in glass bottles as much as possible.

Usually after you throw… then out of sudden you need it

the trick is: keep it in archive/storeroom for 10 years, after 10 years expiry, then throw away. During these 10 years, i am sure u won't even notice these items are missing

Keep 12 years just to save a few dollars worth of decoration.

I'm not earning a lot, since it pops by every 12 years, just reuse.

I tell myself that when I die I can take NONE of things with me. And I won't care anymore.

So if things no use has no monetary value then throw is ok.

If really need to use can buy again

I hv throw alot of black trash bag.
I can't make myself do that.
But bro, I think I hv no choice but to force to do it.

Maybe I hv yo buy few more idea cartons to put clothing n box it, clear storage room n stack it there nicely.

You cannot throw away memories. Separate what is memory what is just a physical object.

Some things can still use one keep. Those no use then throw. photos can be digitized. Videos too.
Take photos of the things. Can open photo and look at it. Or videos reminisce

Oh yes I do that.
Just now took a clip on my kitchen n photos before tomorrow morning after come back from work, I will do it.

Throw, throw, throw.

 

[Lchlch]

Take your time.

The hardest is getting started. Once you got started and you throw the first batch of things it will get easier.

Start with aspects with less tender memories maybe.

Thks bro.
Yes I threw alot of stuff that's is no value. I hv to start rolling again especially last weekend, I completely stop packing..

 

[Lchlch]

Ask yourself " Does this spark joy'. No, then throw.

It brings painful memories.

Take a pic of it, then throw the item away. At least you can tell yourself can still look at it when miss it next time.

I took many photos, things my wife bought...

 

[Lchlch]

build more compartment, shelving in storeroom

If I hv someone help me, I go work, those inside kitchen drawer n cabinet, all throw...at least I nvr see.

Things meaningful to her but not to you, can throw.

We threw away most of my dad's clothing, though I still keeping 1 set of his working clothes as a souvenir.

Throw one thing at a time ba. The most useless and CONFIRM won't use one. Then give your heart a break. Then the next time the clutter bothers you, repeat process.
