JAKARTA - Towards the beginning of the year, many of you are driven to make a reset, not only in terms of life resolutions, but also in terms of how to take care of personal space. There is nothing more satisfying than entering 2026 with a neat house and a lighter mind.
Quoting the recommendations of the organization's professionals, from the Real Simple website, Friday, January 2, there are three main areas that deserve to be your main focus when decluttering for the first time in this new year.
First, the piles of papers and documents that are scattered are often the source of invisible stress at home. Although it seems trivial, old letters, bills, or receipts that pile up symbolize unfinished decisions. Experts suggest creating a "command center" at home, a special place to sort papers into three categories: keep, throw away, and destroy. This simple step not only cleans up the physical space but also helps your mind feel more organized and ready for the days ahead.
Then, expired kitchen and food equipment are often forgotten after the holiday season ends. The refrigerator and pantry are often full of food that is no longer suitable for consumption or plastic containers without the right lids. Getting rid of these items makes the space more functional, reduces waste, and can even make it easier to plan your monthly shopping.
Finally, seasonal decorations such as ornaments or candles that are only used once a year should also be reconsidered. Instead of just storing them with other boxes, sort out the decorations that are broken or no longer suit your style. It will make the process of welcoming the next season lighter and more fun.
By getting rid of these three types of items, not only will your home space become more spacious. Your mind can also feel clearer and ready to face new opportunities in the new year. Welcome 2026 with a neat, functional, and full of positive energy space.
