Every week I share tips on Facebook and Instagram that will help you get you home and your life organized.

​

In this email I wanted to pass along 3 tips on how to declutter your home in 5 minutes a day that really works to help you take control of clutter in your home. A little every day! ⏲️

​

​

Tip #1 - 🎯 Have a PLAN for how you will use the 5 minutes. You can use the list linked below or create your own.

​

If you are just tidying up, then you can rotate a room per day of the week. If you have one "problem" room, then keep working on that room every day until you are finished.

​

Get your supplies ready!

• Keep a box ready at all times for donations. You'll add to this box every day. When it's full (or once a week), you take it to your favorite donation site.
• Gather 3 bags for sorting items to discard. I suggest color coordinating the bags so I don't get them mixed up. You can choose any color scheme you want, but be consistent. You don't want to donate trash. 😂
  • Black bag - Trash
  • White bag - Donate
  • Clear bag - Recycle
• Set a timer for 5 mintues.
• Set a GOAL of 20 items a day to be decluttered.

Tip #2 - Get the family involved.

• 💵 Money talks! You can incentivize the effort by paying 1 penny for each item gathered or a quarter every day the family gathers all 20.
• 🏅Competition. Keep track of who collects the most items each day and pick a winner each week that gets a special treat like extra minutes playing games or choosing their favorite meal for dinner.

Tip #3 - 🏁 Finish what you start. 🏁

Clutter forms fastest when you stop in the middle of a task you are working on. You think, I'll get back to finish this later.Before you know it, a week has passed and the stuff is just where you left it. 🤦‍♀️

Make a promise on this while you're on this decluttering mission to finish the task you start which means bags the 3 bags above are handled - trash to the trash can, donate to the donate box and recycling to the recycle bin!
