Summary
Feel the freedom of an organized house when you give in to the 'urge to purge'. It's even more fun than buying something new. Take a listen and see what we mean.
Firstly, please find someone to give your discards to. If you have old towels or blankets, check with your local humane society to see if they will take them.
Secondly try to do a declutter at least once a year. If you don't the job will become too overwhelming and you won't even want to start it.
Put like things together, that way you'll be able to find things and know where everything is. Now you will be less likely to accidentally buy something you already have.

STEP 6: CONSIDER YOUR LIFESTYLE
This is where practicality steps in. You may want the look of a Parisian flat with velvets and silk, but you live in suburban American with 2 small kids and a dog with a delicate digestive system. You are going to need to be honest with yourself on what you need for the space.
Think about how this room will be used and by whom.
Your deliverable: A list of activities that take place in this room, who is using the space, and special considerations for the space. Does it need
durable fabrics
multipurpose furniture
pet-friendly rug
extra seating
Is it used for watching TV
Is it used for homework?
it is a home workspace
Do you eat meals in here?

| 0:33.4 | We have the urge to purge. |
| 0:41.8 | It's something that I have been doing like a madwoman the past two weeks and having such a sense of accomplishment. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to open a drawer and see what is in it and not be rifling through five layers to get to the stuff on the bottom and find that, you know, I'm in the wrong door. |
| 0:54.2 | It's not even in there. It is making me so happy. There is clearly something psychological |
| 1:01.9 | about decluttering. It borders on exhilarating. Do you know what? It's like it's peaceful |
| 1:08.5 | because when it's cluttered, it feels stressful and out of balance and it feels like it disorganized and it doesn't make sense. But there's a calmness when you open a closet, open a drawer, and it's all easy to find everything that's neatly done. There's a piece with that. I think that's what it is. Maybe that's what it is. |
| 1:28.4 | But I mean, opening my trunk at Goodwill and handing it over or bringing it someplace. I brought a |
| 1:35.4 | whole bunch of things to the Humane Society the other day. Old linens and old dog sweaters that |
| 1:42.3 | never fit my dogs and things like that. |
| 1:44.3 | Oh, we don't have a stack of those. |
| 1:45.7 | We have a collie. |
