Seven Days of Organizing TIPS – Day # 3 – ‘Reduce Knick Knack Clutter’
DAY # 3 – TIP # 3
Like me, you most likely have at least one shelf that’s full of knick knacks or memorabilia.
Declare that shelf knick knack free. Remove all collectibles, trinkets, picture frames, etc. Put these items into storage for a while. (You can revisit them a few months down the road, and if you haven’t missed anything, or you forgot about some items, then you know it’s time to give them away to a good cause like a charitable organization).
Dust or polish the shelf until it shines. Add one small vase of flowers, or a small house plant. Don’t put anything else on this surface for 17 days.
You’ll be amazed at the peace you feel with that nearly empty space.
(And, at the end of 17 days, put a few more items on the shelf, but please don’t clutter it again, so that nice feeling remains)
Let me know when you’ve cleared that shelf full of knick knacks, and how this uncluttered shelf makes you feel when you see it.
