Decluttering can make your home more orderly and reduce your stress level, but it can be challenging.
Here are some strategies to keep you from feeling overwhelmed.
Stop Procrastinating
Putting something off can make it seem even more stressful. Get started now, even if it’s just for 10 minutes.
Be Realistic
You don’t have to declutter your entire house in one day. Devote small amounts of time to decluttering on a regular basis.
Focus on Manageable Tasks
Break it down into a series of smaller, more manageable pieces. Tackle one room, one shelf or one drawer at a time.
Get Rid of Things You Haven’t Used Recently
Eliminating a significant amount of clutter will give you an immediate sense of accomplishment.
Donate Possessions You No Longer Want or Need
Donate unwanted belongings to a charity so someone else can enjoy them.
