o reduce clutter, think before you buy. The next time you see something you want to buy, ask yourself the following questions:
Can I live without it?
Will I wear it/use it? If so, where and when?
Can I afford it? Would I prefer to have the money in my account or this item in my house?
Have I got the space for it?
If you’re still not sure, the best thing to do is sleep on it, then go back and buy it the next day if you’re convinced you must have it.
Tip
Have a rule that if you buy something you must get rid of something, so you’re never adding to your amount of belongings.
