Clutter is common problem faced by several households. But most often than not, we are responsible for amassing the clutter. If you look closely there are several items in your household that you use or more specifically you don’t need. You just have to give a close eye at your house and you will find more than one thing need to be got rid of. It will also help in making your house look beautiful and spacious. Actually clearing the clutter is kind of thankless job. You can never actually get rid of it.  Items like shoes, clothes, books, toys etc keep collecting in your house and you don’t get rid of it that it might be of some use in the future. Well, you can’t really avoid the mess but you can always clear the clutter in a reducing fashion.

One of the basic tricks of clearing the clutter is to use 3 years formula. This rule says, if you have not used a thing for last three years, there are high chances of you not needing it ever. Now, that really makes things simpler. The problem with reducing clutter is we tend to give too much weightage to old stuffs like clothes and magazines thinking that we may need them later. But that later never comes. If we try to clean the mess, we will come across several such materials that haven’t been used for years and we can easily dispose them.

Start with making a list of things you need to get rid of.  Begin with pare like documents, letters, paper, magazines etc. just give these things to your ‘kabadiwallah’. Books that have not been used for years can be used for donating to libraries. You will get rid of them and will also be generous to libraries that can donate these books to needy students. It’s difficult to part ways with your books but then one should learn to do it. Try not using polythene bags ad instead of that use jute made or some other disposable paper bags clothes.
