Anyone have organizing/decluttering ideas for apts?
Question:(No built ins /bolting on wall hanging shelves etc)
Answers:
I suggest renting a storage unit. They usually run from $32.00 to $100.00. It is a monthly rent. If you do this, use the unit to store things that you really do not use right now such as winter things (clothes, jackets,etc). You can also follow the old rule that if you haven't seen it, wore it, or used in a year it can go. You can either dispose of these things or donate them. I recommend donating because it is usually a tax deduction.
Throw out things that you do not use. (Obvious)
Get plastic boxes, clear and mark them, hide them under beds.
Have a yard sale and make some money.
Time to have a yard sale or see if you and a freind that has a yard do one together, If you cannot fit everything in your Apartment, then get a bigger one or even a house with a basement and a garage, You may have to consider whether or not you are a packrat, If so, Then be a good person and donate your extra WANTS to somebody and stick to your needs and disipline yourself with a better life style. You can rent a dumpster and really clean house, I did once and you feel better once it's done, kinda like a re-newing of your life.

Cut the address labels out of your magazines, and put them in the community laundry room, or recycle them.
Every time you decide not to wear an article of clothing, set it folded neatly on a dumpster for a homeless person to find.
Don't buy knick knacks. Buy cool boxes to store things in. display the boxes as though they were knick knacks.
Pick one style for your decor and get rid of everything else that doesn't match it.
Put in a loft bed (available cheap from Ikea).
