New Year, New Space: Decluttering Tips for Homeowners

The new year signals the ideal time for a fresh start—and decluttering your home is a fantastic way to kick off a new beginning. By following these three simple tips, you can reclaim your space and set the stage for a more organized year:

Think Big, Start Small

Decluttering the entire house can be an intimidating feat, so split the job into smaller, more manageable tasks. For instance, allocate time one afternoon to organizing your kitchen cabinets, and another day to clean out a closet.

Use the “Three Box Method”

Label three boxes Toss, Donate, and Keep. This will help you stay focused and intentionally examine each item’s purpose. By donating items you no longer need, you can positively impact someone else’s life while also eliminating clutter.

Make It a Habit

To avoid overwhelming efforts each year, aim to make cleaning and decluttering a regular habit. Set monthly and quarterly reminders on your phone to help you stay on top of your clutter and stay organized year-round.
