Clear your living space

And while some of these things are bought because they are needed or wanted, others of them just end up sitting around for the whole year without being used.

That may vary from clothing and accessories, to furniture or children toys.

The one mistake which most of us then make, is to just add the new items to the old increase of our clutter – while shrinking our living space.

So before the New Year, it may be time to clear your clutter.

You can do this by either throwing out what you no longer use – selling it, storing it or by just giving it away, to someone who truly needs it.

To determine if what you are keeping is still needed, ask yourself whether you honestly need those items?

Could you possibly live without them?

Do they hold any sentimental value for you?

Remember, chances are if you haven’t used an item for a year, whatever it may be, you probably don’t need it.

So clear your space and start the year in a clutter free space.
