Get Organized Month: Swedish Death Cleaning

January is National Get Organized Month. It’s cold outside, so there couldn’t be a better time to go through your stuff and get organized!

Use the Swedish death cleaning method

A good way to get more organized is to use the Swedish death cleaning method. What you do is you go through all the stuff you have accumulated and get rid of the extra. In other words, think about what your family will have to go through when you are gone and help them to not have so much stuff to deal with afterward.

Tips on how to get started:

First, pick a small area to begin with. For example, a closet, junk drawer, or even the trunk of your car.
Next, pull out everything that’s in the area and go through it. If you haven’t worn it or used it in a long time, let go of it.
Finally, ask yourself: am I going to use this, or do I really need it? If the answer is no, you can donate it, sell it, or give it to a friend.
