The Decluttering Philosophy That
Keeps Your Home Organized
When you sit at your desk，you may constantly be confronted by chaos. 1 Here an expertshares some useful strategies to ①keep our messes at bay and her decluttering philosophy—getting
rid of unnecessary possessions and distractions.
2 “What becomes clutter and where your clutter collects can say a lot about what’s
going on with you.” Thus the first thing you should keep in mind is to understand your
clutter.When you understand the reasons behind your clutter，it’s a lot easier to know what to
keep and what to get rid of.

too big a goal，you might get discouraged if the job takes too
long. 3 Instead，start with something less challenging.You can also work within short time
restrictions.All in all，setting realistic goals and breaking tasks up into manageable portions can
really help.
Once you’ve chosen an area to declutter，make a list of everything you have in that
space.Then comes the hardest part: figuring out what to get rid of.At this stage，please look at your
items with neutral eyes. 4
②Admittedly，it’s easy to be organized the day after decluttering，when tidiness is still top
of mind.But what happens when you come home from a trip and are too tired to unpack your
luggage? Or when you get the flu and are too sick to clean up? 5 In other words，make a
system that works for you even when you’ve got to work or when you’ve got a cold.
A．Everyone’s clutter tells a personal story.
B．So don’t restore your entire garage in one afternoon.
C．The key is to create practices that can be easily maintained.
D．It can help you let go of things you don’t need but feel ③attached.
E．④Comparatively speaking，the job taking shorter time will be easier to finish.
