Our homes are the places that we begin and end most of our days, as well as do many things in between. The foundation of our surroundings often dictates our moods and overall well-being. Thus, having our homes decluttered and organized can make a difference in our mood. The New Year is a great time to start purging the old and welcoming the new! Here are a few tips to help you get a fresh start and a clean slate.
Start small so it is not too overwhelming, and you are able to see your progress. This will keep you motivated. Sort one room per day, and in 1–3-hour blocks of time. Larger time blocks and trying to tackle multiple rooms at once can result in burnout. Putting a schedule together can be very helpful.
Many times, during the process of decluttering and organizing, our sentimental items cause us to stumble. Here are a few questions to ask yourself to get past this: Does this item bring you joy, and should I keep it? Is it just adding clutter, or can it be let go of guilt-free? Would taking a photo of it be a helpful alternative?
Get your family members or a friend to help you purge. Having a partner can add accountability and make the process much more fun. Sorting items into labeled bins by category is very important. Categories like keep, toss, donate will jelp make finding homes for these items much easier.
Keep in mind that this doesn’t have to be a one-and-done process. You can repeat this process as often as necessary until your home feels freshly organized and decluttered. Make sure to deep clean along the way–it will give you a great sense of accomplishment.
Embrace the fresh start that the New Year can bring by taking control of your surroundings. Remember, a well-organized home can significantly boost your mood and overall well-being. We are here to assist you if you need help setting up an efficient system for decluttering and organizing–making changes that will last a lifetime.
