To clean up effectively you first have to make a mess. You have to judge everything that goes through your hands. Do you want to keep it? Can you give it away to acquaintances or the thrift store? Can you sell it? Or is it ripe for the waste bin? And when you want to keep it, do you leave it in your house or does it have to go to the storage room? And which place should it be?
Aim for a room with only stuff that you use often or that you really enjoy. You can bring anything that does not meet this requirement. Also read ‘ Clean up everything: 4 Golden Rules! “.
2. Move the items that you have
