"A new year invites a fresh start, and sometimes the easiest way to feel lighter at home is simply to let a few things go. Experts say January is the ideal moment to release the items that you're "making do with" or " saving just in case " but never actually use. Whether they're tucked in drawers, crowding your cabinets, or hiding behind holiday decor, these everyday culprits add visual noise and drain energy without you even noticing."
"Reusable bags, takeout containers, and leftover condiment packets tend to multiply quickly - especially after a season of hosting and holiday errands. Pamela Wilkie of Joyganize says most people keep far more than they need. A well-curated handful of sturdy tote bags and a small set of matching food containers not only looks neater, but also makes everyday routines smoother."
A new year offers an opportunity to release items that are 'making do with' or 'saving just in case' but never used, reducing visual noise and drained energy. Reusable bags, takeout containers, and leftover condiment packets multiply after hosting and errands; keeping a small, curated set of sturdy totes and matching food containers streamlines routines and eliminates clutter. Sentimental paper piles, binders, and magazines should be pared to items that still hold meaning, with photos or scans used to preserve memories digitally. Swapping sticky notes and notebooks for note-taking apps further reduces paper accumulation and makes storage and retrieval easier.
