"No Contact" Decluttering is the Ruthless Technique that Helps you Part Ways with Your Clutter for Good

A living room with beige feature wall.

Breaking up with your clutter is no easy feat. Be honest, how many times have you boxed up your unwanted belongings only to go running back to them before they've even left the house? Just like a toxic relationship, if you want to part with your stuff for good, going no contact might be the only answer.

If you're looking for a ruthless approach to cut the clutter, look no further. When it comes to decluttering a room, this so-called 'No Contact' method does exactly what it says on the tin. It encourages you to make a clean break with your stuff by cutting all ties, but it's not all cruel. Rather than take your box of clutter to the donation center immediately, you keep it in the house, out of sight. That way, if you go a stint without it but still find you're missing something, you're justified in keeping it.
