What steps can I take to declutter my home?

1. Set aside a few hours for the task and create a plan of attack.
2. Go room by room and focus on one area at a time, sorting things into separate piles – keep, donate, sell, and throw away.
3. Tackle the ‘throw away’ pile first and be ruthless in the decisions you make. If an item is broken or beyond repair, discard it.
4. Assess the items that are left and ask yourself if you truly need them.
5. Take care of the ‘donate’ and ‘sell’ piles and free up more space.
6. Put items away where they belong – avoid the temptation to leave them sitting around in piles.
7. Put items in storage or donate anything that you don’t use often.
8. Keep up with the daily mess – this will help with future decluttering projects.
