While You Declutter, Don’t Forget to Leave Space for Yourself

The Weekly Tittle is an exercise designed to focus your attention on a specific space, aspect, or challenge of decluttering and organizing your home. We assign a new tittle in each webcast/podcast, then check on your progress the following week.

A Fresh Look

This week’s assignment is to take a fresh look at a space in your home through the lens of your own emotional needs.

• Think about a room or area of your home that’s not supporting you in the way you’d like for it to—as a place of peace, relaxation, purpose, etc.
• Set an intention or two about your use of this space. Write down a few notes about what you do here or how you’d like to feel. Would you like for this space to help you relax, recuperate, recharge, or something else?
• Remove an item from this space that isn’t aligned with the intention(s) you set. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
  • An item of aspirational clutter—something you bought for a hypothetical version of yourself that hasn’t come about.
  • An item of identity clutter—something you kept as a memento or museum piece from a previous version of yourself.
  • An item of someone else’s stuff.
  • Anything else that doesn’t serve the life you want to be living now.
