Trash or Donate It
-
Give yourself a rule of thumb: If it hasn't been used or worn in an year, it's time to throw it away or donate it. For example, that sweater you thought you loved last fall with the tags still on it, can go in your donation pile. The same goes for that picture frame sitting empty on your bookshelf. If you're not using it, it's clutter and it's time to get rid of it.
Setup a Cleaning Schedule
-
The best way to get rid of clutter is to clean often. When you don't clean every week or two, clutter happens. Purchase a calendar and mark the days you want to clean. For example, you can devote 30 minutes every Tuesday night to laundry, 20 minutes Saturday morning to dusting, and Sunday evenings for going through your stack of junk mail.
