1 Declutter and donate
Start in one room of your home, and remove items that are not used, not useful, or do not bring you happiness. Consider reducing duplicates, such as mugs and tumblers (most of us own more than we could ever need!) to leave exactly what you need. Box up your excess items, and donate to worthy causes including charity shops, homeless shelters, or animal sanctuaries – where blankets and bedding are always welcome. While decluttering your home environment, it’s time to declutter your smart phone. Delete contacts that you no longer need, and apps that bring no purpose or joy to your life.
