Remember, the more you have the more you have to take responsibility for thus occupying both time and energy. If you have a laundry room, look on shelves and clean out unnecessary items you simply haven't used for a long time. Run your washer at least once a month with white vinegar to keep the inside fresh as well as operating smoothly. Clear out your drawers and use them wisely. Several friends pointed out to me that all of the little throw rugs lying around on my carpet were really annoying to walk on.
Walls can be another trap.
Clearing your walls of pictures and paintings will create more open space as well as brighten and lighten your room. You won't have to wipe down as much either. Wall units take up unnecessary space that could be made useful. Unless you're a plant lover and posses a very green thumb, keep plants outdoors where nature intended them to be thus clearing space and relieve yourself of watering, trimming, and re-potting. These are just but a few items around your home you can work on clearing out.
