Looking around your home and viewing all the clutter can raise your anxiety through the roof. However, with a few simple tips, you can easily declutter your home in just 15 minutes a day.
It’s important to work in small increments of time, so you don’t become so overwhelmed. Using this tip and others, you’ll see a reduction in your home’s clutter without the stress.
Take One Area at a Time
If you’re anything like me, you panic, feel overwhelmed, and then just jump from one task to another. At the end of cleaning, you find you’ve accomplished very little.
While you might see the entire picture — several rooms or your entire house needs to be decluttered — focus on just one area at time.
Spend 15 Minutes Each Day
Far too often, people put off decreasing household clutter because it’s too time consuming. By spending a short period of time each day decluttering, you’ll be more likely to keep up with this daunting task.
Additionally, make sure you only take out items that you have enough time to sort through. In other words, don’t take out all the items in your closet and place them on your living room floor. Instead, take out what you can do in short time.
Get Storage Bins
If you have any stray items, they’re taking up room just lying around in your closet. Get storage bins or totes to hold all items that are similar in nature.
Label and put them in your closet or attic. Keep in mind, you want to make sure you’re not overusing the storage containers and holding on to too much. Only save what you’ll either use or is special to you.
Removing clutter from your home is easier than you may think. The biggest secret is to accomplish it in small tasks rather than take on your entire home head on. And always remember, storage is your friend!
