PREPARATION Before you even begin decluttering your home, start by designating bins for the items you’re going to get rid of. Label your containers “put away,” “fix,” “trash,” and “donate.” These bins will keep you organized during the decluttering process. They will also keep you focused. It’s amazing how easy it can be to become distracted while you’re organizing your home. But if you can quickly place items in their designated containers, you’ll keep the ball rolling. START SMALL Even if you’re all-in on decluttering your home, it can be difficult to know where to begin. Start by deciding which part of your home you want to organize first, then pick one item to give away. Easy, right? You can continue this method by either picking out one thing each day or increasing the number as time goes on. But if that was easy for you, try filling up one of your containers. If you start small, your task will seem less daunting and you’ll end up being more productive. WHAT NOT TO DO The best way to be successful in your endeavor is to not bite off more than you can chew. Focus on and finish decluttering one area of your home at a time, no matter how much you want to start on a new room. If you jump around, there’s a good chance you won’t make much progress, and it’ll feel as though your task will never end. Keep in mind that decluttering your home is a big project; it’s going to take time. Everyone wants to live an organized, stress-free life, but the thought of decluttering your home can be daunting. However, if you prepare yourself for the task, start small, and bite off only as much as you can chew, you’ll be on your way to a cleaner, neater home in no time.
