Three Tips to Motivate Yourself to De-clutter Clutter makes life a lot slow - to the point, where it drains your energy in many ways and one doesn’t feel like cleaning the whole lot. If you are seeking motivation to de-clutter, try the following tips and spruce up for the year! Take Stock A good way to start the de-hoarding process is to take a tour of your house and take stock of the clutter lying in and around your areas of daily functioning. Make a note of these areas and list them on priority basis as to which you would tackle first. Take care that you do this immediately in order to ward off second thoughts on retaining the clutter. Tackle these listed areas gradually. Take one cluttered area at a time - perhaps for two hours daily. Rewards Psychologically speaking, motivation is a process that induces one’s goal-oriented behaviours. Motivators make up for a great inducer for one to act. Hence, bringing in motivators whilst decluttering can help you maintain the rhythm and prevent your from relapsing into cluttering again. Besides the manifold rewards of a clean home and improved social connections, de-cluttering can also bring you hidden earnings. For example, you will find that you have unnecessarily bought extra stuff that you don’t really need. Put them on a yard sale or an online portal like eBay, and earn a few bucks. Schedule your Personal De-clutter Time Have a resolution to handle the clutter daily. They say, “A bag a day keeps the clutter away.” Assign a time slot during the day and de-clutter during that time. You can also experiment with different time slots and see which one works the best for you. Also, it makes sense to handle the clutter at the time of
the day when you are most energetic. If your energy levels are favourable during late evenings - well, de-clutter during that period of the day. Need help to de-clutter? Bio-Cleanse are trained to handle biohazard clean-up and hoarding management. Visit www.bio-cleanse.com.au for more information.
