Ep 120: How To Declutter During The Holidays

The Simple Life with Gary Collins

How do you avoid cluttering your life with useless items during the prime time of the American consumerism bonanza we call--The Christmas Holidays? As some of you know, I recently rebooted my life by selling most of my belonging and moving to another state. Even though I wrote a book about decluttering that doesn't mean I'm exempt from the "too much stuff" bug biting me. I'm going through a pretty extensive decluttering process at the moment, and I thought there is no better time than the Christmas Holidays to tackle this subject. We know that our culture is dominated by "consumerism," but that doesn't mean you have to be a gold star member of the "cult of clutter." In this episode, I discuss my current experience with downsizing and decluttering my lifestyle. I go over valuable tips and tricks to stop the clutter madness even during the holiday season.
