The first thing to do is to take pictures of the state that your house in right now! My husband almost died when I took our pictures. But, that's okay!
Day 1: Your handbag, briefcase, wallet.
This week, as you are moving through your day, notice your thoughts. Just notice
them. Be gentle with yourself.
As you are cleaning, remember that clutter is a sign of a life being lived and richly
(or you wouldn’t have been able to accumulate so much stuff!) Saying ‘Thank you’
as you touch, clean, sort and move on your items, will begin to clean the energy of
your spaces too, which is another vitally important Feng Shui issue!
1. Clean out your handbag, wallet and/or briefcase.
Wipe the bottom or any pockets or decide if you
need to just get a new one. If it is in disrepair in
any way, decide how quickly you can move it
on…
2. Staging Area: Begin to look around your home to
determine where you could use as a ‘staging’
area. This is an area that will hold the stuff that
you are moving on. This could be the garage or
a part of your basement. This will only stay in
organized disarray for a limited time but it is a necessary area.
3. Plan to gather items to help make this clutter clearing easy:
a. Boxes or baskets ~ at LEAST 4
b. You’ll need at least 4 and add one for each member of your family. As you are
clearing, you’ll save time when you place their items in here and later you’ll teach
them the system you developed for keeping your home organized
4. Mark Boxes or Baskets Clearly:
a. “Donate” These you will either give away or have someone take away
b. “Trash” This will go to the trash collection
c. “Decide Later” ~ this is to keep you ‘on task’ which is vital for your success
d. “Return” either to give back or take back
