10 Minimalist Habits For A Clutter-Free Home

Curious to learn more? Check out these! 😊

Keeping a clean and clutter-free home is more than just about appearance—it’s about creating a space that supports a simpler and more relaxed lifestyle. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the mess around you, you’re not alone. Simplifying your space can make a huge difference in your daily life 🌱

One of the best ways to start is by adopting some minimalist habits. For beginners, it might seem challenging, but once you get the hang of it, it’s rewarding. Begin by following a few minimalist tips. Try to live with less by decluttering regularly and making sure everything you keep has a purpose. Think about things you might have quit to simplify your life; perhaps you no longer need those old magazines or excess kitchen gadgets.

Here are 10 habits for a simplified home that can really help. First, make it a rule to tidy up daily. Spend a few minutes each day putting things back in their places. Second, have a designated spot for everything, which helps prevent clutter from building up. Third, regularly donate items you no longer use—living with less can free up a lot of space. Fourth, keep surfaces clear of unnecessary items. This simple change can immediately make your home feel more organized 🌿

When you simplify your life and your space, you might find that you feel less stressed and more focused. Minimalist lifestyle choices can also save you time and energy. Embracing minimalism for beginners doesn't have to be hard; start small, and over time, you’ll see big benefits in how you live.

What's one thing you do to reduce clutter in your home? 🏡

Procrastination is the greatest enemy of mental clarity. I try to remember how satisfied I feel after completing a task when I find myself confronted with what I think is an overwhelming task. It's amazing how less overwhelming a task becomes once you begin it. And, as grandma always said:" A place for everything and everything in its place." Also, "Return items from where you got them." Wisdom for the ages.

I got rid of so much, decluttering what's around me, helped declutter my mind. Stay Uncommon!

Hi Seve, A long time ago, I worked in a bar/nightclub. It was my job to make sure the premises was clean, tidy, and guest accommodating. (i.e. Grunt Work)
In the beginning, I would always make a scene if I had to cleanup after pig customers. (Why are these people such pigs and why do I need to do this?)
My Mentor/Boss quietly spoke to me: Now Jeremy, all that time you spent bitching about doing a job, it could have been done already, without all that fuss !!
I still use that advice to this day. I live in an apartment building with pig tenants. After dinner each night, I do a trash run to the basement, on the way, I hit the lobby, and collect all the trash from the mailroom, the garbage, and all the garbage people throw on the ground in front of our building. Then I take it all to the basement waste systems.
If I am somewhere in the building and there is a mess, I just clean it, instead of fussing with management and maintenance. I have extra bags at home, cleaning supplies, etc.

In the neighborhood, on my walks to and from the shops, if there is trash on the ground, I usually pick them up and dispose of them in the garbage cans provided on each block by the city.
It's not so much an OCD issue, but a mindful, just something I do. This morning the closet is fully decluttered, and the winter changeover is DONE !!! YAY !!!
I just realize that people are pigs, they don't think, and you cannot rely on anyone else to do the job, that you can do better than they can, so I just Do It, quietly and humbly !!

I feel like an often overlooked aspect of reducing clutter is also inside your refrigerator. A useful tip is to take a photo or 2 of what you have before you go shopping and base some of your weekly meals around what you already have rather than having to buy new groceries. Thanks Seve for another great video ✌🏻

For parents, I read an article about how stuffed animals are hard to get rid of because of their faces. I have my kid every few months make piles of the stuffed animals they love and ones they don't care about. I don't really look at that second pile. I just reach my hands right in and toss them without those faces haunting me lol.

Seve never fails to provide practical and realistic tips. ❤ Thank you again! 🎉

I'm at the point where I decluttered many times in the last 15 years from moving that almost everything I own now is curated to what I need and use. Really it was trying to fit everything in a car or ute that was the primary motivator. The last declutter was when I moved to another country with 2 suitcases. I wouldn't be where I am (in a better place) if I tied myself down with "things".
This speech from the movie "Up in the Air" was the main driving force behind my decluttering: "How much does your life weigh? Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack. I want you to feel the straps on your shoulders. Feel 'em? Now I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life. You start with the little things. The things on shelves and in drawers, the knick-knacks, the collectibles. Feel the weight as that adds up. Then you start adding larger stuff, clothes, table-top appliances, lamps, linens, your TV. The backpack should be getting pretty heavy now. And you go bigger. Your couch, bed, your kitchen table. Stuff it all in there. Your car, get it in there. Your home, whether it's a studio apartment or a two bedroom house. I want you to stuff it all into that backpack. Now try to walk. It's kind of hard, isn't it? This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis. We weigh ourselves down until we can't even move. And make no mistake, moving is living."

I so agree aboutt storing things in somewhat visible, obvious places (jars, open containers, high use of labels) rather than squirrreling things completely out of sight and incognito. Even with my minimalism, I've "lost" things because I got too creative with hidden storage, or found things I don't recall the purpose of.

[themellowminimalist]

I just posted a video on closet decluttering and a selling deadline was a big point I made. If you don’t set one the items will just sit there… FOREVER. I set a 2 week deadline and after that they get donated. It’s a great strategy!

I have a large, very large book collection. Very few books are fiction, possibly less thas 10. I have started to organize my library by category and author as I started to find that I had purchased some of the same books twice . I must of really liked it. Lol

[taracasper]

"Selling deadline" - genius! One thing I do with subscriptions or apps.... after purchasing, I go online and immediately cancel it. It won't cancel until the 3, 6 or 12 months is up, but that way it won't automatically renew!! Rewardingly junk mail, I was receiving mail for my deceased mom of four years, and my 22 year old daughter who lives on her own. I researched how to eliminate junk mail and found websites to register and this mail has stopped!!

I really like your videos and tips you share, thank you for sharing with us!

[macchiatonee]

For the second habit I just want to add one advice - don't overdo it and allow some imperfections (I guess habit 10 sort of touches on it).
Sometimes I get obsessed with tidying up and just find more and more (unimportant!) things to do, while forgetting other responsibilities. Or simply get stressed when I can't take care of it immediately.

[yvonnejackson]

KEYS! Oh good lord. I’d like to have the time back that I have spent looking for keys before I started always putting my keys in the same place—To say nothing about the time I had to pay a locksmith to come out and remake half a dozen keys that were in my jacket pocket with a handkerchief on top of them.
Next I’m going hard core minimalist on my refrigerator.

[Seamus]

The same premise can well be applied to computer file clutter.

[chorsaicheung]

Just donate those stuff you don't need, it's much simpler than sell it online .Unless you 're really in need of money.
