Spring may be the traditional time of year to give your house a good cleaning, but there is never really a bad time to declutter your space and make it all fresh and new. Of course, if you really have a hate on for cleaning, then maybe you just keep putting it off or moving things from one room to another, in the hopes that they will put themselves away? I know I am guilty of this one, which is ironic because I can’t stand clutter!
From a non-professional’s point of view (that’s me) getting rid of clutter is a huge challenge, especially when you think you can not live without all of that stuff piled up in the corner. I mean, it’s there for a reason, right? I would hate to just chuck it away and discover a week later that I really needed that thing! Well, we have some help for all of you decluttering dawdlers. The fine folks at MakeSpace, a great storage service, want to share their tips with their Decluttering, Decision-Making Flowchart and how to use The KonMari Method for decluttering. Have a look-see and get to work!
********************
What is the one area in your home you would most like to use the KonMari Method in? I have two; my office and my bedroom!
