Organize The Clutter

The beauty of a home is not only measured by its size. They say that a home and everything about it speaks volumes about the people who live there. If your home is a cluttered mess, it may leave people with a negative impression of you. On the other hand, if you have an immaculately tidy and pleasant house, your visitors will likely have a positive impression of you. Would you rather have a large house that looks like it was just hit by a hurricane,  or a modest-sized house where everything is tidy and organized? The choice is yours. With that in mind, here are some suggestions to help you declutter your home.

First, make a detailed plan of attack and stick to that plan. Determine which part of the house to clean first.  The ‘disaster areas’ of a home can vary greatly from family to family and from person to person.  Decide which room or rooms are the messiest and in need of the most help, make those your priority. Formulate a plan detailing the tasks needed to clean each room and try to estimate the time needed for accomplishing each task.  A time frame is very important because it will help you monitor how long you have spent on a task. It can also be helpful when you start to feel overwhelmed with the number of tasks you must do.  Focus on one task at a time and as you check them off your list you will experience a sense of accomplishment that will help keep you motivated to continue.

Second, start with the cleaning phase since this part will consume the majority of your time. Initiate organizing your things. Sort out your clutter into categories; everything gets separated into piles or even plastic bins. For example, all Clothes go together in a pile or plastic tub, shoes in another tub, all mail together, etc. As you pick up an item, determine, if you’re going to keep it or can you get rid of it – you can sell them at a garage sale or a consignment shop, give them to friends or family, or donate the items to the charity of your choice. Is it broken and worth repairing or would you be better off buying a new or used one?  Once everything is separated into piles or bins, continue organizing the individual categories and where they belong, until everything in that category has been dealt with. The specific technique you use to declutter your home can vary greatly.  Some plans take months while others can be accomplished in a matter of days.  Determine what works for you and your personality.

At times, it may not be possible to reach your decluttering goals in short order but don’t punish yourself. If you find you are becoming discouraged because the job seems too big or appears to be taking too long, take a breather, revise your plans, focus on the accomplishments you have achieved, then try again. Do not stop until you get the desired results. After all, you are the one who is going to enjoy the rewards of a tidy organized home, you’re worth it! You would not want to endure a dirty place everyday for the rest of your life now, would you? The sooner you start the sooner you can enjoy the rewards!
