Maintenance mode.

I’m guessing it’s not one of your favorite topics.

·        It implies already being finished with the decluttering (like that’s happened).

·        It suggests there are still problems ahead (depressing thought).

·        And it tells you that there’s still more work to do (ugh, already? I just decluttered the whole freaking house!).

But, we do want to keep our decluttering progress….

So that means learning how to deal with the birthdays-and-Christmases influx of new things.

Up for a little challenge?

Here’s what to do about the three most common maintenance mode mistakes.

What you’ll learn:

·        Here’s what you don’t do (and all of us have done at least once post-Christmas): Skip the maintenance purge.

·        The next problem you’ll face: trying to make all the decisions at once

·        One more practice to avoid: Ignoring all those “donate in 5 months” boxes

Go on – take a look around. What’s been sitting around in your house, waiting for you to “get around” to it? Decide today. What serves you best?

Or maybe you’ve got a room that could use some maintaining. It was zen once, but then Christmas happened.

Go ahead and make a first pass. Box up some more for a “decide in 5 months” date. Try out a possible keep-this-not-that arrangement.

And then go live with your decisions for a little while – you can always change something down the road.

Your minimalist life awaits.

You’ve got this!
