If you are fond of collecting newspapers, magazines, paper, household supplies, clothing, etc. and letting them pile up at your home, then, maybe you should think again. You may have the tendency to hoard. But, wait! Don't fret! There are ways to prevent acquiring things that are really not essential and just occupying space. As they say, prevention is better than cure. So, let’s dig in some ways on how we cannot fall into the trap of hoarding.
This may be a bit easier for people who are not into the trap yet. If you have a lot of things to declutter, try putting them into categories. Schedule each category for sorting. Know which among them are for keeps and which ones should go. Do not declutter all in just one go. The work is tedious and this may give you stress and anxiety. The best way is to do it one category at a time.
Since you tend to collect a lot of items that are categorically the same, such as magazines, clothing, household supplies, etc., then, try to narrow down the quantity. If you have a lot in hand, you may leave one item for each category and you may dispose of, donate, or store the rest.
If you are planning to buy items out of a hobby, I suggest you should refrain from doing that, especially if you don't have a sure schedule of using the stuff and if you're too busy to spare some time for your hobbies. You may end stacking them up. Do not spend your money on another clutter.
The four-box method of decluttering will surely help you identify which among your items are for giving away, throwing away, keeping, or for relocating/storing.
Since you tend to hoard, you may have the feeling of anxiety from time to time with just the thought of disposing of all your extra stuff. If you are still in the process of helping yourself to let go of things and can’t really decide which way to go, why not consider renting a self-storage unit? You may want to give yourself time to get used to not seeing these items. And hopefully, you will become comfortable with the thought of getting rid of them.
