Step 1
Schedule a day and time that you will have as few distractions as possible. Take the phone off the hook and send the kids out with your spouse to the park or movies.
-
Step 2
Gather two medium to large size boxes and a few garbage bags. Label one box for things you are keeping and the other box for donation. The garbage bags are for throwing out things that you do not need to keep.
-
Step 3
Start at one corner of the room. Pick the messier corner first.
-
Step 4
Place things that you have not used in several months and you will likely not use into the box marked for donation.
-
Step 5
Fill the box marked for keeping with the items you are using and plan on using.
-
Step 6
Throw everything else in the garbage bags for disposal.
-
Step 7
Dust and wipe down the one corner that you have worked on and proceed to the next corner.
-
Step 8
Go through the same process until all four corners are done.
-
Step 9
Remove the two boxes and the garbage bags from the room.
-
Step 10
Vacuum or mop the room.
-
Step 11
Arrange everything that you are keeping neatly back into the room.
-
Step 12
Dispose of the garbage bags right away.
-
Step 13
Take the box for donation to the local donation center promptly. Avoid letting it sit in another corner of the house as this only creates another pile of clutter.
-
Step 14
Enjoy your clutter free room!
