Declutter Your Home with These Easy and Effective Tips: The start of a new year is the perfect time to refresh your home and create a more organized, stress-free environment. Whether you ' re preparing to sell your home or simply looking to enjoy a tidier space, decluttering can make a big difference Here are some easy and practical tips to help you get started:

�� Small and Stay Focused

Decluttering your entire home can feel overwhelming, so start small Choose one drawer, shelf, or area at a time and work your way through This approach will help you build momentum and prevent burnout

�� 12-Month Rule

Ask yourself: “Have I used this in the last year?” If the answer is no, it may be time to donate or toss it This applies to clothing, kitchen gadgets, and even those items taking up space in your garage

�� The 3-Box Method

When tackling a room, bring three boxes labeled: *Keep*, *Donate/Sell*, and *Trash* As you go through your belongings, decide which box each item belongs in Stick to the plan, and don’t second-guess your decisions!

�� Declutter by Categories

Instead of decluttering room by room, focus on categories like clothes, books, paperwork, or sentimental items. This technique, made popular by Marie Kondo, helps you see how much you own in a single category and makes it easier to downsize.

�� Create a Donation Station

Set up a designated area in your home for items you plan to donate. Once the box or bag is full, schedule a drop-off at a local charity or consignment shop.

�� Tidy Daily

Spend 10–15 minutes a day tidying up small areas. Whether it’s clearing the mail pile or reorganizing your desk, small efforts add up and keep clutter from returning.

Decluttering your home doesn’t have to be an overwhelming task With these tips, you’ll not only create a cleaner, more inviting space but also experience the peace of mind that comes with a more organized life.
