The Joy of Minimalism Through Junk Removal in Springfield Missouri
Have you ever considered what it would be like if you took one whole month and lived by a minimalist approach? How would your home look? How would you feel? You’d probably feel like your mind was clearer and your life was more organized.
A minimalist approach to your home life places value on meaningful experiences over meaningless possessions. That doesn’t mean that you can’t have things that may or may not have value, it just means that you don’t want to have a whole house full of that stuff.
There may not be financial value in your vintage collection of Coca-Cola bottles and antiques, but maybe you started that collection with your grandfather 40 years ago and it has sentimental value to you.
You should have things that bring you joy in life, but don’t overcrowd your life with things that don’t bring you joy. If it doesn’t bring you joy or fulfillment in your life, that’s when it’s just “stuff”, and there’s no need to keep a house full of stuff cluttering up your world. It’s time to call a junk removal company to help you get rid of it.
If you think you have what it takes to declutter and organize, try this minimalist challenge. Starting at the beginning of the month, declutter your home using the following method.
On the 1st day of the month, find one thing in your home to get rid of. You can throw it in the garbage. You can sell it. You can give it away. Whatever you want to do. If it’s a bigger item, such as a recliner or a mattress, you can call Dog Gone Junk to haul it away.
On the 2nd day of the month, you find two items to get rid of. On the third day, find three items to get rid of. And so on. If you follow this plan, by the end of the month, you will have gotten rid of over 400 items throughout your home.
How clean, how organized, how amazing would your home feel being that decluttered? How free and clear would your mind feel when walking into your home or office?
You may think that you don’t have that many items to get rid of, but this is easier than you think. Open a closet or storage area that you rarely get into and count how many things are in there that you don’t really need. You probably can easily find 25-50 items.
Go in your bedroom closet and start going through drawers and clothes. You can probably add another 50-100 items you could get rid of fairly easily. They don’t all have to be big items, but they should all be items that you don’t want or need in your life.
By following this plan and having a specific items of number to get rid of each day, you’ll make more progress than if the number of items you’re getting rid of each day isn’t defined.
What’s the point in keeping something in the attic, garage, or closet, if you don’t really need it? Get rid of it! You’ll be happy you did.
