SimplicityQuotes: Declutter

If you want to declutter your home, you should stop purchasing anything first. Then go through all your stuff and keep those you need. The rest can put into a box and after 3 months, if you never take it out, high chance that you don't need it at all. You may sell, give away or throw. 

Not having the stuff in the first place allows you to feel more relax and the extra space give you more freedom (able to let go) and detach yourself from it. You should keep the stuff that brings you joy. By surrounding yourself with stuff that brings you joy, every little thing brings a smile on your face. This is the start of being content with what you have.


Your mind can be cluttered too. Start to declutter physically. Then slowly declutter your mind. It works.

When he found that Filipino maids wanted these items to bless their family, friends, and neighbors back in their village, he...

My Filipino Project Giveaways

The "Filipino Project" is started by Singapore freegan founder, Colin Lau. The project collects usable small items (clothes, bags, kitchenware, luggage, bed sheets, curtains, blankets, stationery, soft toys, plastic toys, shoes, electrical and electronics, lingerie, etc) and gives them to Filipinos. They pack these items into big carton boxes and ship back to their hometown in the Philippines. The Filipino groups pay for the shipping costs usually. These shipped items are then given to their family members, relatives, or church members as some are so poor, they can't afford a meal. Some items are sold to pay for their essentials, like food, electricity, etc. Visayas group that came to my place. Still have 2 ladies that not in the photo as they came later.
