Home -- DeClutter - Declutter My House Declutter My House!Almost every home has clutter. Clutter is the stuff that finds its way through your home, wandering from place to place, without a place to belong. Some clutter just needs to disappear. Other clutter should be organized and a place created for it to belong. But decluttering your house doesn’t have to be difficult. It depends on how you do it. There are many ways to declutter your home. I declutter my house by sorting items into three boxes: keep, give away, and trash. Then, I empty the boxes into the places they belong, and create a home for all of my things. However, this only works if you know your cluttered home is due to unnecessary items. Another way to unclutter your house is by going through each room and accessing the clutter and disorganization. I determine about how much stuff needs to go, and how much stuff needs to stay. If the problem appears to be a lack of places to put things, I head off to the department store for a brainstorming session. If you’re not sure where the organization section of your department store is, go to the first employee you see and ask, “Where is the stuff I can use to declutter my home?” They’ll know right where to send you. Once you have a place for everything, it’s time to put everything in its place. If you start putting things away and realize you still don’t have enough room for everything, you may need to reevaluate what items need to stay, and what items need to go. Some items can go into storage, such as seasonal items. However, be careful that the next question you ask doesn’t become, “How do I declutter my basement?” A friend of mine declutters her home by getting rid of everything in the house that is not being used. She does this every season. She also avoids bringing anything into the house without making sure that something else leaves. This is a great way to not only declutter your house, but make sure that everything stays clutter free. Another way to declutter your home is to get the help of your family. Don’t try to do it all on your own. Two weeks before any birthday, Christmas, Easter, or other gift giving holiday, I have my children go through their toys and box up anything they no longer play with. This help to keep their room, and the rest of the house, decluttered, as well as making room for the new toys they will receive as gifts. The prospect of getting new things always makes them more willing to part with those toys they don’t really play with anymore.
