Many people do not know where to begin when starting with home decluttering and spring cleaning. If you need guidance and some creative tips, this article is the one for you to read.
Make A Dent in 5 minutes!
If you are new to decluttering your home and feel stressed, just begin with 5 minutes a day. You will, after a while, build up some momentum and spend hours decluttering. It is okay to only take one item you want to get rid of and put it on a “declutter hill.” There is no time frame or specific due dates that you need to follow to declutter your home. It is your choice, your time, and your home. Committing to actually starting is the best way to get it done! Carving out a whole day might seem insurmountable, but everyone has time for just 5 minutes!
Create a Checklist
Creating a checklist will make the entire process much easier for you. Make a visual representation of where you want to start and where you want to end. Items that you might want to consider putting on the checklist include; kitchen appliances, hair accessories, old toys, CD’s and DVD’s, wall decorations, china, furniture, clothes, jewelry, duvets, and blankets, books, puzzles, seasonal decorations, and a lot more. It is scary to think that there are so many things in our houses that are unnecessary and take up so much space – the only thing they do is collect dust.
Donate
There is no need to fill up the garbage hills with all the unnecessary clutter. If it is things that other people might need, consider donating. When you have clothes in your closet that you forgot about, put them in the “donate” box and make another person very happy. When it is old furniture, donate them to a school or a retirement village in need. While decluttering your home, use the Four-Box method. Try getting four boxes and labeling them with “trash”, “give away”, “keep” and ‘’relocate”. Using this method, you will make the right decision about your items and what to do with them.
Get Help From a Friend
Have your best friend or your family go through your home and make suggestions about what to do with specific items. If you don’t agree with their choices, stick to them and when you do agree, get rid of them. You can also use the community to help you when decluttering your home. If you want to get rid of some clutter to make space in your home, consider storing the items you really still need and want to hold on to. Search for the local storing company and hire a storage unit that will keep your belongings safe.
