Every year when January rolls around I have the urge to simplify to start the new year fresh and clean and
uncluttered. This doesnt mean getting rid of everything (Im faaaar from being a minimalist), just getting rid of
the things that weigh you down. So, heres the unofficial guide to simplifying without going full-on Marie
Kondo.
physical clutter
Whats the area in your room that stresses you out when you see it? Start there. A few quick tips on how to
clean specific areas:
closet
Take allll your clothes out of your closet, wardrobe, or dresser
Put the things you know youre keeping back in right away your favorite jeans, that black dress you wear
SCHEDULE all the time, etc
Once youre left with just themaybes, try every item on.
If you wouldnt buy it all over again, it should probably go.

community closet.

11:59 PM Books are also a wonderful thing to donate! Your local library or thrift shop would be my top pick.
If you still have old textbooks laying around, list them on your schools bulletin board to sell, since most
thrift shops wont accept them.
NEWS under your bed
Lets be real: most all of this can go. Grab a trash bag and toss anything thats not important.
You can get one of those rolling tupperware under-the-bed organizers, or just stick what has to stay under

digital clutter
I dont know about you, but I feel like I have a lot of digital clutter. Its so easy to build it up and forget about
all that you have stored on your computer!
Go through your phone and delete photos you dont need, apps you dont use, and old messages.
ADS Message Seguir Unlike Rebloguear Insertar Dashboard
Do a major computer overhaul! Delete old files and programs so that you have more space.
Put all your files into folders so that theyre easier to find later on.
coming soon Take a look through your friends and following lists, and delete all those people that post negative things.
mental clutter
This is the big one. Mental clutter comes from all of the above, plus just living your life. Some tips for
decluttering your mind:
FIND ME ELSEWHERE
Do a nightly brain dump. Before you get into bed each night, open up your journal and write down
everything thats on your mind. Once its on paper, you can let it go until the morning.
INSTAGRAM VSCO Find relaxing habits to practice everyday: yoga, taking a warm bath, going for a run, etc
Practice mindfulness or meditation
DUOLINGO AMBIENT MIXER
Keep a planner!
Practice not letting yourself harbor bad thoughts
Stay away from negative people if you can. You dont need negative attitudes to be adding your already
stressful life!
simplify your schedule
Learn to sayno more if you dont want to go to your friends-cousins-nieces dance recital, dont.
Streamline your daily routine;
Get ready faster by nixing the makeup you dont love to put on and finding quick and easy hairstyles
Make an outfit idea board on Pinterest and fill it with outfits that you can make from pieces you
already have in your closet so you spend less time finding an outfit
Cook meals in advance when possible, or stick an easy meal in the crockpot before you leave for the
day
Tidy every room just a bit before you leave it, so that you dont have to devote an hour to cleaning it
later on
Make time for you each week
See if there are any chores that you can outsource (eg, some grocery stores will shop for you for free, all
you have to do is order online and go pick it up)
Dont feel like you have to participate in something you dont enjoy. If you dont love the sport, dont play it
I hope you all have a very simple and relaxing year, good luck to you all!
