Blog post: 5 decluttering methods you haven’t tried (but should!)

Jennifer at Simply + Fiercely has written a great blog post with 5 "non-standard" approaches to decluttering. It's a really fun post with some interesting ideas. (She also discusses why "standard" approaches don't work for her.)

I think something that isn't talked about as much as it should be is identifying where your clutter comes from and stopping it at source.

I have implemented a few things in this space:

My mum has a tendency to turn up with a huge amount of random stuff - I put it in one spot, go through it within a day or two and just get rid if I don't want it

When the kids go up a clothing size, I get rid of/store the previous size straight away

When I buy Christmas and birthday presents for the kids, I identify and remove things beforehand so there is space for the new stuff
