Full of Stuff?

Is your home or office full of "stuff". Here are a few quick and easy tips and questions to help you get it de-cluttered in no time.

  • Sometimes it can be helpful to de-clutter before tackling any cleaning. Once you de-clutter there will be less stuff to clean and less stuff on counters, floors, and tables to move around.
  • When de-cluttering, set out three boxes. One box is for things to keep, one is for things to donate, the last is for things to throw away. Consider these questions when deciding what to do with each item.
Do I need the item?
Will I ever use this item again?
When did I use it last time?
Has it got sentimental value?
If it needs repair, will the repairs be made?
  • Be realistic when de-cluttering. If you are short of space or haven't used it in a while, throw it away or donate it.
  • Don't take a lot of time when de-cluttering. Many times, the longer you spend on one item, the more likely you will convince yourself that you need to keep it. If you still find it difficult to decide, put in aside for later and come back to it.
  • If you find there is something, especially large items, that you need to keep but don't have space for, put it in storage.
