Before Decluttering

Let’s face it, your clutter can make living in your home difficult. Often you can’t see past the clutter and are unable to get organized or even keep your home as clean as you’d like. When you declutter your home, you get organized, alleviate stress, easily keep your home clean, and actually begin to enjoy our home again!

Decluttering your home isn’t as hard as you think, all you need to get started is here in these simple and easy to follow tips:

• • First, it doesn’t matter where you begin – just pick a room and get the process of decluttering started. Doing one room at a time will keep you from getting overwhelmed and keep you motivated from room to room until the entire house is done.
  

  After Decluttering

  • Start by taking out the trash, not only what’s in the garbage bins, but also the broken, used up, dried up, empty, and, well, trash lying around. Everyone has it, from empty envelopes, old magazines, tossed aside packaging, worn out clothes, dried up glue, empty bottles, expired coupons, and more. So, grab a garbage bag, and start decluttering.
  • Next, you’ll want to put all the out of place items around the house, back where they belong. For some reason, many items make their way into the kitchen or bedroom, and when you put them in their proper place, clutter is eliminated.
  • Once you’ve gotten rid of trash, and put items in their proper places, the final step in decluttering is tackling closets, drawers, and cabinets and ridding your space of items you no longer use.

  Remember, you don’t have to do it all at once, but be consistent and work strategically to get the job of decluttering done. Once completed, you’ll be ready to enjoy your home again!
