How to declutter your home - with 5 easy and simple steps
Decluttering helps you feel refreshed and accomplished. It is essential to get rid of the junk in your life as well as your home. While decluttering a home is a big task, you can simplify it with some easy method.
Read this article to get help in your decluttering process.
I feel ten minutes of daily decluttering is much more manageable than a whole day in a month. So create a decluttering schedule of an hour or two or may be even 15 minutes a day. In this way you can enjoy your weekend as well as save yourself from a big mess.
Everything should have their proper place where you can keep them after using. Use your drawers wisely, set up different files for various papers, make a shoe - rack etc. When all things will have their own place your room or table will be less messy.
When you finish using the things put them away immediately. After all this is why you have set up their home. If you follow this step everytime you use something, you will save your time and energy for later.
While decluttering everyday use this easy method of sorting out your items. Use some empty boxes and label them as below -
Trash - keep all the trash in this box which you can't use anymore nor you can send them for recycling.
Donate - Use this box to keep items which you wanna donate to any charitable organisations.
Recycle - keep those items in this box which needs to be recycled and those you want to sell.
Store - This box is basically for the items that you don't use now but may need later. Keep these things in a store room or make a separate area for them.
Fill these boxes on your daily decluttering process and empty them to their designated places on the weekend.
Whenever you buy anything make sure you get rid of an old item. For example if you buy a new dress then take out one of your old T - shirts and keep it in one of the above labelled boxes. In this way you will have less clutter.
