It’s actually more enjoyable than you might think – almost as enjoyable as buying something new. Think about countless things you own, and how little amount of these you actually use (more than once in a lifetime).
I am currently living in a dormitory – that means I have to put in extra effort to manage tons of stuff I have in such a limited space. After a while, I asked myself: “Why do I actually HAVE to deal with such an enormous amount of stuff?”. So I packed every single thing that I didn’t use in a long while (and wasn’t looking forward to using) and those things the idea of storing which didn’t seem too appealing, got 2 enormous bags and sent them home.
That gave me a sense of freedom. Freedom from the inevitable chaos that having so much stuff in such a little dorm flat would bring. The ever-present mental fatigue and oppression started to slowly fade away as surfaces and drawers became uncluttered.
The task of getting rid of stuff you don’t need may seem overwhelming at first, but, luckily, there are plenty of almost step-by-step guides for it. One of my favourite examples would be the KonMari method. It centres around keeping things that “spark joy” and getting rid of pretty much everything else.
I’ll give my own idea of starting the declutter, which might give you a bit of traction to start: look at your table and try to remove as much stuff as possible from it; leave only things that are absolutely necessary for studying or whatever you are used to doing there. You’ll probably feel a lot more enthusiastic about, for example, doing your homework there, since it’s a lot less cluttered now and nothing gets in the way. Then it’ll probably give you enough evidence that decluttering actually improves your quality of life, so it’ll get you going. Hope this helps!
