Things You'll Need:
- Timer, Trash Bags, Time.
-
Step 1
Take things one step at a time. If you need to cut clutter throughout your whole house then just start with one room. If you need to cut clutter in your room then start with a corner. Breaking a large project down into smaller projects makes the tasks more manageable.
-
Step 2
Set the timer for 10 minutes, or if you desire more. But make sure you set the timer for a small amount of time.
-
Step 3
Cut the Clutter. Have a Bag for Trash. A Box for Garage Sale items/or item's you will donate to charity. And a Box for things you must keep. Go through your items and release the clutter from your home. Have a goal. Such as to get rid of 1000 things. The things that you haven't used lately need to go, with the exception of seasonal items.
-
Step 4
If you get "stuck" or don't know where to start: just pick something up. And remember "Less Is More!"
-
Step 5
After the timer goes off-you can just keep resetting it until you are finished. The timer is a great tool. It is amazing the amount of progress you can make in 10 minutes. And momentum will set in and you will get a lot accomplished.
-
Step 6
Clean up. Throw away your trash. Clean the area that you have just worked on. Take the things you want to donate to the drop off location.
