What does de-clutter mean to you?? De-clutter = De-stress!! to me! I’m passionate about de-cluttering…. I really am!! Are you having a laugh?? Infact… if my home is clean and clear… I can tackle the stress and pressure at work with so much ease!! I don’t know why! Basically means that I am at utmost peace when my home is clean, clear and simple!
I am the queen of de-cluttering… I do it nearly once a month I think!! *smiles* I can write a book on de-cluttering…
So… here are a few simple tips on de-cluttering…
- Start TODAY.. No!! Start NOW!! Once you start… you wont be able to stop.. so start NOW…
- If there its lots of clutter, even 15 mins a day will be a great start.
- Make a schedule – will you do one room in one day?? will you be able to do one closet in one day?? What ever is convenient.. make a schedule.. stick to it!!
- Have a deadline for sure!! So you have to de-clutter before your guests arrive… or de-clutter before Christmas?
- Don’t expect a clutter free home overnight… It’s a long process. Be ready to invest in your home.. and in your life in return!
- Be realistic – You haven’t used it for 6 months now!! You sure don’t need it… It will not come in handy one day!!
- Don’t move clutter from one room to another.
- Have a charity box or bag ready.
- Try investing in new storage items – boxes, wicker baskets, bookcase, filing cabinets, shoe racks, photo albums, etc. There are lots of pretty options out there..
- De-clutter again… maybe after a month, after two months… but repeat the process.
De-cluttering is a way of life… Not a one off chore!! Change your habits to –
‘one in, one out’.. and if you need any more help on de-cluttering simply write

Have you seen my purple rug?? Linking in to these blog parties....
Did you notice my little box… In one of my de-clutter moods…. I decided to store my ‘remote controls’ in there… We’ve got three in the living room – projector, amplifier and DVD player.. I kept them there.. and hubby darling couldn’t find the remotes for three days.. But he wouldn’t ask me… Only coz he knows I cant be bothered to use them… Finally three days later.. the girls showed him where they were!! Do you like my ‘remote control’ box!!

From discord find

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”
