How to get rid of clutter despite of your emotional attachment to the items

People tend to accumulate clutter because they have an emotional attachment to the items. The thing that most people don’t realize is that clutter isn’t a healthy or good thing, it’s a bad thing and accumulating items and items just because they remind them of something shouldn’t be an option. If you have recently realized that your home is much more cluttered than you have though keep reading because we will turn your attention on tips that will allow you to get rid of your clutter in spite of your emotional attachment.
Commence by prioritizing your emotions and memories. I may sound strange and wrong but it is a fact that some emotions and memories are more important than others. For example if you have a football ball that reminds you of the time when you used to play football with your dad or children it is perfectly normal that you hang on to it. On the other hand if you have a football ball that simply reminds of your inability to play the game, you should simply donate it because there is no use of having a memorabilia that will remind you of something unpleasant. You will be amazed by the volume of items that you will remove if you keep only the things that remind you of your loved ones, childhood and life milestones.
Your next step should be to sort the remaining items in two groups: practical items and impractical items. Keep the practical items and even more use you in your everyday life. This way these items won’t be clutter by necessary objects that are facilitating your life. The impractical items you should sort in three sub-groups: items that you absolutely want to keep such as photographs, awards, gifts, and so on, items that you don’t want to but must throw away because they are broken, and items that you can donate so that other people can benefit from them. By sorting out your items you will keep in your home only the most important and essential pieces of memorabilia, which is the main goal of your endeavor.
You shouldn’t take care of the throw away items because you may change your mind and keep them. Instead hire a company that provides rubbish removal and have them clear the items. By using rubbish removal you will be certain that the items will get removed.
And while the professionals are taking care of your waste you should go to a charity organization and donate the items that other people can use.
