I've always had a problem with having too much stuff in my room. Lately, my stuff has gotten in the way of me finding things and my problem with too much stuff has been getting in the way of my living.
Here's what you can do to fix this problem:
1. Ask yourself "Will this matter in a year?"
Consider the expression "you are not your stuff." You are in control of your life and your stuff does not control you. If your answer is yes, keep the item. If your answer is no, get rid of it right away.
2. If a piece of clothing is more than a year old, donate/toss it.
If you haven't worn it in a year, it's not important anymore. Also, a year is a lot of time and you could've outgrown the article of clothing. And you may not even be interested in the certain style anymore.
3. Shop in your own closet before buying anything new.
So, I have a few articles of clothing that had holes in the stitches and I really didn't want to get rid of. Yet, before I thought of getting any replacements, I fixed them myself.
4. Use under bed storage.
This is especially helpful when you have a smaller room. I use storage containers under my bed for clothing and stuff like I do at school. The ones that I use have wheels making it easier to roll in and out from under my bed.
5. If you wouldn't buy it full price, why would you buy it on clearance?
It's a waste of space and money. I know that you would rather have that space for something in your room that brings you joy and that you would actually use.
Overall, it's important that you should find your joy inside yourself and not look for happiness by buying things.
