Make sure to add this project to your agenda and share it with a friend or family member who would enjoy turning decluttering into a fun activity!
Begin by creating the right atmosphere for decluttering. Turn off distractions such as the TV and phone notifications. Consider putting on some energetic music to keep you motivated. Gather your supplies, including trash bags, boxes for donations, and a timer.
Select a small area or a single room to focus on. This could be a cluttered countertop, an overflowing closet, or a chaotic drawer. The key is not to overwhelm yourself by choosing a manageable space.
Set a timer for 60 minutes using a clock, phone, or kitchen timer. This creates a sense of urgency, which can significantly enhance focus and efficiency.
Start sorting items into categories: Keep, Donate, and Discard. Be ruthless with your decisions—if you haven't used it in the past year, consider parting with it. Use your boxes and trash bags to clearly separate each category.
With the clutter cleared, take a moment to clean the area. A quick dust, vacuum, or wipe down can refresh the space. Then, organize the items you chose to keep in a way that is visually pleasing and functional.
Once the timer goes off, assess and admire your beautifully decluttered and organized space. It’s important to acknowledge this achievement, no matter how small.
To maintain this progress, consider scheduling regular 60-minute declutter sessions in the future.
