Eight decluttering tips

listing-to-port:
1. Start with small things, like mice. Take all the mice from one area and arrange them in your preferred type of neatness. When you have done this, assess your space. Is it still messy? This may mean that you have too many mice. Remove one and try again. If you are in a space which is intrinsically messy and are recursive enough, it may be possible to achieve negative mice by this method.
2. Designate a specific space for decluttering, take everything out of it, stuff those things into a rucksack, and run for the getaway car. Works best for messy bank vaults. Make sure to pick up your tools behind you as you leave.
3. Do you own two of a thing? Stop that! They may breed. Particularly books, which are often kept snuggled up close to each other with little else to do and is it any wonder that eventually you end up with hundreds of the things? Books can breed almost undetectably. At any given time, in a bookcase of reasonable size, two or more adjacent books are probably having sweet, wordy book sex.
4. Seek out inspirational clutter-free spaces which allow you to fully take in what is achievable with the right attitude. For example, the vacuum of intergalactic space (make sure to go out far enough; the bit with rocks and astronaut gloves and whatnot in is not what you want); central Antarctica; or any of the various moral voids which can be found in major political centres.
5. Toss all cabers, salad, dice, coins and pankakes that you have lying around.
6. Thoughts, ideas and opinions can take up space. For example, the idea that a house should have curtains introduces fabric clutter. Likewise the idea that a house should have walls is the reason that many houses weigh too much to float off into the sunset when a modest blimp is attached. Don’t be one of the blimp left-behinders. Getting rid of opinions can be tricky, but there are many web sites where people can give them away for free.
7. Are you cluttering up your living space with humans? Humans are large items which can be easily moved to other places, freeing up space which can be used by air and lost bees. Consider removing all of the humans from your living space, including yourself. Isn’t that better?
8. Consider also those things that bring you joy. How much joy are they bringing you? Will they continue to bring you joy for the rest of their functional lifespans? How much room for joy in your house is there? Is it not taking up space that could be used by a smaller, more compact emotion? Or better yet, no emotion at all? It may be wisest to divest from objects that consistently bring things into your house and invest in things which involve net outflows, for example a boredom vent or spleen pipe.
