Decluttering Made Easy: Simple Tips for a More Peacefully Beautiful Home

When your home is a well-oiled machine, your mental, physical, and spiritual health are free from the draining chaos of clutter. By putting systems in place, you can squash those pesky daily stressors that zap your emotions and energy, like figuring out where your keys are or chipping away at Mount Laundry. With that pressure off your shoulders, you can focus on the things that you love!

Slowly and steadily decluttering your home can have a positive impact on your life in many ways. By getting rid of items that no longer serve you, you can live with less and simplify your life. This can also reduce stress and create a more peaceful environment. When you have less clutter, it becomes easier to find the things you need when you need them. By taking small steps each day, you can gradually declutter your home and create a space that feels more open and inviting and less overwhelming and tiring.

Decluttering doesn’t have to mean one big, overwhelming project. In fact, the key to success is to start slow and simple, and most of all, staying consistent. By setting aside just a few minutes each day to tackle small tasks, you can gradually transform your home into a peaceful haven.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

• Take just five minutes each day to get rid of five things. It may not sound like much, but over a year, you’ll have decluttered over 1,000 items!

• Start with the easy stuff. Grab a laundry basket and spend just 20 minutes collecting broken items, things that are never used, or missing pieces. These are quick wins that will make a big difference!
Not ready to tackle a whole room yet? No worries. Go room by room and just get rid of four things: magazines, junk mail, instruction manuals, and outdated tech (and their cords). You won’t miss them, I promise!
