The new year offers a fresh start, and many of us are looking for ways to cut down on clutter and clear the slate. But even with the best intentions, it can be tough to get started on tasks like cleaning out the closet or digging into those boxes in storage. It can be even tougher to prevent the kinds of things you’ve decluttered from trickling back into your house over the year. In their new book, New Minimalism: Decluttering and Design for Sustainable, Intentional Living, Cary Telander Fortin and Kyle Louise Quilici — decluttering professionals with backgrounds in psychology and interior design — delve into why we accumulate so many things, and they offer practical, easy-to-adapt strategies for decluttering and changing habits. We caught up with Quilici, and below we share her thoughts as well as highlights from the book.
