With spring well on its way, and nature starting fresh, now is the best time for you to do so as well and take part in some spring cleaning! Deciding how to start can be daunting, especially with added stress of assignment deadlines coming up, so here are 3 things to get you started!
1. Clear out your Phone
Starting off small to kick off your spring reset, is simply clearing out your phone! This can take you only 10 minutes each day and help lower your online stress.
Simple tasks like deleting unused apps, old emails and files, contacts, photos and anything else you no longer need can help free up storage and free up your mind from old things!
If you’re someone who uses social media, it is also a great idea to take this time to unfollow accounts that don’t positively impact you and focus on creating an online space that you enjoy viewing!
2. Donate or sell unwanted clothes
As much as we tell ourselves we’re going to style that top, or wear those jeans out one day, now is the time to let go of any clothes you no longer wear and consider selling or donating them!
It’s good to start this task in sections, for example going through your tops by t-shirts, sweaters, going out tops, etc., before moving on to bottoms. This helps you be aware of how much of each item you have and make mindful decisions on what to keep!
Anything you are no longer keeping can be donated to the green and blue space on campus or many charity shops located in Stirling, however if you’re looking to make some extra money, online sites such as Vinted make it easy to sell your clothes!
3. Deep clean
The biggest task of spring cleaning is always tackling your physical space, letting things go is hard and so is how long it takes to clean, but a clear space helps make a clear mind!
Whether you live at home or in accommodation, its good to focus on your bedroom where you most likely spend most of your time. Working through it in sections can help you to not get overwhelmed but remember to take breaks!
Just like your clothes, unwanted items can also be donated or sold and help clear space for new things!
A fresh space will really help make a difference while transitioning into spring and hopefully help you clear your mind!
