Best Ways to Declutter

1

Pack the Unwanted Things in Cartons

No matter how much you push yourself to donate stuff, there will be things that you don’t want to use or give away. It can be your first boxing gloves pair or an old t-shirt that you love but can’t fit into. Make a ‘memories box’ for these items. Pack them in more than one carton if there is a lot of stuff and move them to the attic or garage to free up space in the closet.

Start with one Room, Cabinet or Closet

For someone who is used to living in a cluttered house, decluttering can be a hard job. You cannot declutter the whole house in a day but you can definitely declutter a room or a closet in a day. Play your favorite playlist that is 20-30 minutes long and start decluttering.

Keep a carton or bag near you for clothes or stuff that you do not need. You can also keep the trash can near for throwing away trash. Make decluttering a hobby when you are free or bored. 30 minutes of decluttering every day can help you organize the house effectively by the end of a week or a month depending on how messy your house is.

Clean out unused clothes

Decluttering can be both physically and emotionally draining. It’s best to face decluttering with a simple rule: if you haven’t used it in the past three months, then donate it. We are all guilty of holding on to clothing that we might use one day in the distant future. Instead of hiding it at the back of your closet, you can put those clothes to good use by donating them to shelters and charities that will make sure the items go to people in need.

Use Hooks

Hooks give you more space to hang clothing items and other useful things when you don’t have a lot of space. Hooks in the closet can help you organize your belts, scarves, handbags, caps, and also hang pouches.

A rack for hanging clothes behind the bedroom door means a place to hang your pajamas, coats, and hats. If your bathroom sink is loaded with skincare products, then get a bathroom cabinet or install a shelf to make room for the products. Install hooks, racks, and shelves to free up space wherever needed to declutter each room.

Hire a Professional

If the decluttering process is overwhelming and impossible for you, hire a professional to help. Getting rid of the clutter that you added to your house should not be a big deal but if you don’t have time and energy to do it on your own, get professional help.

You can also ask a friend to help you. Thank them later with food or a gift.
