Decluttering at the Speed of Life: Winning Your Never-Ending Battle with Stuff

by Dana K. White

I’ve consciously decided to view my home as a place to live instead of a place to store all my great ideas and their attached stuff.

You can only change you, and understanding that fact now will prevent a whole lot of heartache in your future.

Decluttering is stuff you don’t need leaving your house. And that’s really all it is. If

define clutter as anything I can’t keep under control. If a space in my home consistently gets out of control, I have too much stuff in that space. I have clutter.

Living for now became my new goal: living in the house we have, in the city where we are, and in the moment when we’re alive.

Living now means giving now preferential treatment over the future or even the past.

Used properly, containers are limits. They keep clutter from spreading. They keep stuff under proper control by preventing and limiting the expansion of that stuff.
