When it comes to home organization and the decluttering process, you have to ask yourself, “How much is enough?”  It’s easy for things to keep coming into our homes and for us to continueadding to the current inventory without really thinking about whether or not we already have enough.  For example, I was making space by decluttering in my office recently and I realized that the top shelf in my storage closet was loaded with boxes.  Every time a new box came along, I just added it to the collection since it was maybe a little different size from the other boxes.   Then we started doing some early school clothing shopping which had me adding even more boxes to the collection from shoe shopping.

So, I got all the boxes down and started making decisions.  How many boxes did I really need?  I really don’t even do that much shipping to need very many boxes.  I  made sure to consolidate by placing packing material inside of  boxes as well as placing small boxes inside of bigger boxes.  I feel like I have enough on hand to handle small to medium shipping needs now.  And, what’s the worst thing that could happen?  If I need a size other than what I already have, I can always go get another box.  It’s great to be prepared, but we can’t be prepared at all times for all situations or our houses will become over run for “just in case” items.

Be sure to declutter by:

• Choosing the best
• Being ok with having  just enough
• Letting go so you can open space for something else
