HOME TIP – Declutter one area of your home today

Here are 3 quick tips to help you declutter: 1. What to declutter? (Things to ask yourself as you get rid of your clutter): – Do I love this item? – Have I used it in the past year? – Is it really garbage? – Do I have another one that is better? – Should I really keep two? – Does it have sentimental value that causes me to love it? – Or does it give me guilt and make me sad when I see the item? 2. Set your timer: for 1 hour (or 30, 15, or 10 minutes – it does’t matter how long). Just do the job as fast as you can and do not pull out more stuff than you can put away in that length of time. This means just one drawer, one closet (or even one shelf in one closet), one magazine rack, or digging under just the furniture in the area. Not all of them at once! 3. Start at the entrance to the room: Then, work your way around the room clockwise. Do not skip a spot. Whatever happens to be next, just do it. ]]>
