Happy New Year! Now is a time for fresh starts, so as you look ahead and think about what you want for yourself in 2025, you might be thinking about how you can make life easier for yourself at home. One of the best ways to have a fresh start is to clear your home of junk. Not only will it physically free up space, but it can also help you have a clearer mind. After all, environment is everything, and a neat, organized space can make a huge difference for your mental state.
Now that junk removal is on your mind, you might be wondering where to start. What kinds of things should you get rid of? Only you know that, and you might even be of the Marie Kondo mindset: if it doesn’t spark joy, get rid of it! If you need a bit more practical guidance, though, here are a few ideas for what to get rid of:
- Appliances – If you celebrate the holiday season, you might have gotten new appliances as gifts. That could mean it’s time to donate your old toaster, coffee maker, or microwave. Or, if those appliances are old and falling apart anyway, give yourself permission to get rid of the junk now.
- Furniture – Is there furniture in your storage space or around your home that you either dislike or don’t use? You might decide that you are better off without it, and you can count on a junk removal service to haul it away for you.
- Clothing – Now that it’s been winter for a while, you may have noticed which items of clothing you reach for regularly and which ones you don’t. Getting rid of winter clothing you don’t like or don’t use can free up closet and storage space that you could really use. As for your spring/summer clothes, you could either go through them now or wait until the warmer months arrive to make more informed decisions.
- Rubbish – Let’s face it: sometimes we just have junk that’s basically trash hidden in closets and corners of our houses. It’s nothing to be ashamed of; almost all of us are guilty. But now is the perfect time to throw it out.
