Quick Guide to Decluttering

10/2/2017

Sometimes we just need to be reminded of the basics! If you have an organizing project and don't know where to start, look no further than this quick guide! It's all about the basics.

1) SET ASIDE TIME:  Block of 3 hours to start your project. Make this a time with no interruptions. No kids or phones!

2) START SMALL: Pick a room and choose a small area, such as your desktop or one drawer to start.

3) ASK QUESTIONS:  For every object, as yourself, do you want it, love it, or need it? If the answer is "no" let it go!

4)  CAN IT BE DONATED? Donate items that still have use! Check out my favorite donation organizations here. 

5)  HOW ABOUT RECYCLED? Can't donate it? Use the RecycleWhere tool to find recycling and responsible disposal options.

6) KEEP GOING:  Stay focused on your chosen area and your work will pay off! If you need some extra help, feel free to book a session!
