A Quick Guide To Decluttering

Schedule it in just like any other appointment, activity, or event. Blocking it out in your diary means you’re more likely to stick to it too. Decluttering takes time and depending on how much stuff you’ve got so ask friends or family members to help. You know what they say – one person’s trash is another person’s treasure!

Which room or area are you going to tackle first? Once you’ve decided on which areas you will be prioritising break it down further into specific sections. If you’re tackling your kitchen, you might decide to go through what’s in your fridge first before moving onto old dishes and mugs that you’re not using anymore. Breaking it down by category helps keep you from being overwhelmed and stressed out!

It’s never a bad idea to keep stock of all the stuff you own too. Goodbye, accidentally buying another identical t-shirt like the one you already own! 

An easy way to sort things out is to separate your things in to piles. “To keep”, “to donate”, “to sell” piles are a good place to start. Once you’ve got the things you want to keep, put them away immediately to keep things tidy. Hopefully it will be easier to find homes for them around your house now that you’ve got all that extra space!
