The professionals of the order are clear, autumn is a very good time to order and throw away everything that you do not need from your house, especially considering that Christmas is coming and surely they will give you new clothes, accessories, decorative objects or kitchen utensils, for example.
The objective is that you get rid of everything that you do not use or do not need, but it is not an easy task. It may be that you brake and pull too much or, vice versa, that you end up not throwing anything because you feel sorry for it or because you think that you will use it later.
The box test
If there are objects that you don't know whether to throw away or keep, put them in a box, close it and put the date. If after a year you have not had to open it, it is because you do not need anything that is inside, so throw it away directly.
The key to making the box test work
- Use it sparingly. Do not put everything you have thought to throw away. Reserve it for special items: clothing with a special value, objects that you used in the past but now no longer, or souvenirs.
Easy plan to organize your house
- Go for rooms. You can set a goal of tidying your house in two weekends. The first dedicate it to the kitchen and the bedroom, which are the heaviest; and the second, to the bathroom, living room, study and other rooms.
- 3 batteries. Distribute the clothes or objects in 3 piles: one with what you are clear that you want to keep, another with things to throw away directly and a third with what you would need to fix. With the pile of what is left in mind, assess if it really pays to fix those things or if it is better to put them on the pile to throw away.
- Order to clean less. Try to store all the objects in cabinets or boxes and leave the surfaces clear, so it will be much easier to clean later. Here are all the techniques to order in order to clean the middle.
