While cleaning the attic I saw there is always a orange square box with random stuff in it. There is a plastic bag with cords, Christmas lights, screws, L-system shelves items, ventilator, inflatable bed with foot pomp and my xylophone.
These are items that never had a designed place and probably will never get one. Starting with the plastic bag with cords. I have an designed place for cords, for computers and other electronic devices, right under the desktop in a blue box. So I know where that bag has to go. The Christmas lights is something which I will give away. I don't decorate the living room for Christmas or other occasions. All the holidays is about one thing: spending time with loved ones.
The screws and the L-system shelves items doesn't belong in the attic but in the toolbox area. I have that sorted a few weeks ago when I cleaned up the garage. The ventilator does belong in the attic cause in the summers it's hot upstairs so I need it there and putting it in the garage is such an hassle but after some consideration I put it back in the orange box.
The inflatable bed with foot pomp belong together as a set. I always use them together. But my xylophone is a really cherished item. It's the musical instrument I learned to play at an age of 8 so I decided to keep it.
Most of the items in the orange box are misplaced items that already has a designated place. So all I have to do is put it in the right spot. Eventually there are just 4 items left in the box; the ventilator, inflatable bed, foot pomp and the xylophone. And I am on my way to a clutter free attic.
Minimalisme is about putting back the stuff where it belongs!
