Detox and De-clutter

Start the Race the Right way!

So you’ve finally spotted all those unnecessary things, the broken pieces of furniture, the old, faulty devices and the no longer-needed clothing. What do you do next?
 
While you’re organizing, the best tip would be to arrange and label around four different bags/boxes or areas in your home. While you clean and slowly get through each item, you can then separate them according to where they fit. You could have one that goes straight to the recycling bin, one for donation to charities, one for self-storage and perhaps a skip for the larger binned items.

If you can rent a storage room for a while, or maybe you’re doing so already, then make sure you use it as much as possible. You can store possessions there that you may still need but aren’t necessary every day. This could save you space in your home and remove the extra clutter. You can compare prices for self storage houses across the UK and see which one suits you best.

Donating clothes to charity is a great way to ensure you don’t waste any piece of clothing that could benefit someone else. It’s important to be harsh, however. If you love a top but it’s been sitting at the bottom of your wardrobe for years, chances are, it’s going to stay there. You can find a list of various charities that necessitate such donations. The great thing is you can donate other things like an old phone, bag, shoes and so many other items.​

Remember that others can benefit from the smallest donation.
