FOXmls.com: Want to Feel Good? Try Decluttering Your Life

Want to Feel Good? Try Decluttering Your Life

Published: April 1, 2012

Decluttering is in. A Google search on "decluttering your life" generated 1.16 million results in just a sixteenth of a second. Everyone from professional declutterers to Zen masters has something to say about it. Simply said, though, it boils down to this: Declutter, feel good, achieve more.

Following are some tips to help you declutter:

Many experts recommend you start small. A post at www.zenhabits.net recommends spending five minutes a day on decluttering. Before you know it, that junk drawer or hall closet will be a thing of beauty.
As you're going through that junk drawer or closet, ask yourself if you've used items in the past six months. If not, get rid of them.
DDelegate a box for the undecided - items you might want in the future. If you don't open the box in three months, get rid of the contents.
Everyone has things that don't live anywhere. Consider the often-lost TV converter or recharger for your electronics. Make it a mission to find these things.
How many knickknacks do you really need? Pick your favorites and take memory pictures of the rest. Then pass them on to charitable organizations.
Buried under papers? One suggestion: Every paper that comes in the door lands in a single place. Sort through the pile every two days and discard or file every piece.

Last but not least, learn to love the decluttered look. You'll stay decluttered for life.

BUYERS GET A REBATE

Today's New Listings with a Rebate!

Search over 325,000 properties in Illinois and Florida. We actually pay you to allow us to represent you in the purchase of any of these properties. Get certified to earn a rebate by clicking on “Get Started” below.

Get Started

When a property is listed for sale with a real estate agent ("Listing Agent"), the Listing Agent historically offers a 3.0% commission to the real estate agent ("Buyer's Agent") who procures the buyer.

In this case, FOXmls.com acts as a Buyer's Agent to assist the buyer in the purchase of a home. As a Buyer's Agent, FOXmls.com will receive a commission from the Listing Agent. FOXmls.com will share ("Refund") any commission received over 1.5% with our client, the buyer. Our Refund is subject to lender approval, and there may be restrictions with VA or FHA loans. Your Refund cannot be used as part of your down payment or to meet the capital reserve requirements of your loan program.

The Buyer will receive representation during the purchase transaction and FOXmls.com, as the Buyer's Agent, will work hard to get the Buyer the home wanted at the best price and terms possible.
