331 // 3 Easy tips to declutter without the overwhelm

Hey friend! Are you sick and tired of stuff making the decisions around your home? "Where should we eat dinner?" (says STUFF all over the dining table) "No space here to play the game." (says STUFF all over the coffee table) "Spend more money on groceries." (says STUFF that engulfed all your grocery coupons and now you can't find them) STUFF rules the day in too many ways and it's time to take your homes back - creating spaces that function the way you want them to function so you can live the way you want to live. In today's episode I'm answering Ann's question who wants to know simple ways to declutter because she's ready to a) live more simply b) create a home that's charming and decluttered homes aren't charming and c) invest more in her space so she can love it...and she hates the overwhelm and clutter. Are you suffering from decluttering overwhelm too? 3 EASY TIPS TO REDUCE THE OVERWHELMING TASK OF DECLUTTERING 1. Know your WHY! Stay connected to the goal at the end of the hard chore. Writing down your why and keeping it visible will help you get through the slog when it gets tough. 2. Start small: Small can mean amount of time, room size or container within a larger room (ie. the room = kitchen, starting with the smallest container - a drawer and moving up in size with each successfully decluttered drawer, then cupboard, etc.). 3. Game-ify the task: Give yourself a reward for a completed task. Give yourself a goal. Set your goals in alignment with the calendar dates (ie. April 1 - declutter 1 item, April 10 - declutter 10 items, April 28 - 28 items...by the end of a 31 day month you'll have decluttered 496 items).
