What is clutter and how does it impact me?

An organized home does not just look good, it improves your mental health in ways you would never believe possible.

Let the decluttering begin, set some goals and make a plan and then get started.

Sort through the decorative items all the shelves and surfaces in the house (excluding books.)

Clean out your pockets and bags

Go through your fridge, freezer and pantry cupboards and see what’s still in date. Make a plan to use the things that are nearing the date and get rid of the things that have expired.

Go through your books and recycle any that have been lying unread on your shelves and are just gathering dust.

Start by getting discarding anything (other than clothes) that you no longer love. This can include furniture, ornaments, stuff in drawers or surfaces.

Take out all the clothes from your wardrobe or closet and put them on the bed. Sort them into piles so you can see what you’ve got. Keep only the clothes you feel great about. Be decisive and let go of outdated looks or sizes.

This is the day you get to clean out all the junk drawers. You know the ones that you dump things in. Clean them out. Find homes for EVERYTHING you want to keep, discard the junk. These can be office drawers, kitchen drawers or drawers in the bedroom.

only keep the clothes you love, that fit you and that you feel good wearing. Let go of the rest, donate, give away or use for rags. Fold the rest up neatly and enjoy the extra space!

Declutter under the beds

Hats, scarves, jewelry, gloves, shoes, glasses all need to be sorted too. Just keep what you need and make sure everything is in good order and clean. Tidy them up and discard the clutter.

The kitchen is the heart of your home, make it feel like a special place.

Declutter cleaning supplies

Pet’s stuff can cause clutter! Old toys, beds that are past their best, packets of unwanted snacks. They have a way of taking over the house!

Go through all the decorations and festive things. Chuck out the stuff you don’t need or want or the things that are really tired. Take photos of things you want to remember.

If you don’t have a designated place for things like tape, paper, pens, staplers and envelopes, now is the time to make one. Gather your gear and put it all in one place!

Clear out old CDs, DVDs, LPs or VHS tapes. Turn old tunes into cash!
