Visualize A Clutter Free Space

You don’t need to visualize the exact space above, but all in all, if you can visualize a clutter-free space, you may have a better chance at eliminating clutter and getting organized in the upcoming year.

Visualizing what you’d like to see in your home is important. Right now, if your home is over-cluttered, all you see and feel is obviously clutter. That’s overwhelming and not great motivation for change. However, if you can visualize a new space, a new look, a new way of living, you may just be motivated enough to pull it off.

Some ideas:

• If you’re extra creative, imagine your space how you’d love it to look. Sketch it out, or just make notes about it.
• If you’re not into imagining interior design yourself, browse some home interior books (minimalist-based), or look through your favorite home magazines for examples of your dream space. You can even clip images you like. It’s true, you may not get your space exactly like that one you see in Real Simple, but you can work toward a similar adaptation.
• Imagine how you might feel differently coming home to your visualized space vs. the one you’re living in now. Do you think you’ll feel more relaxed, more clear-headed, more inclined to have guests over? How will a new space help you?
