Decluttering is not just about clearing your home of clutter. For many of us, decluttering can have a positive impact on mental health. A recent survey of homeowners showed that 44% of us experience ‘mess-stress’.

1. Block out the time you need on your calendar.
2. Clear off all flat surfaces- and keep them clean.
3. Ask yourself what items you actually need- and ditch the rest. 
4. Tackle one space at a time. 
5. Make sure everything you own has a "home".
6. Be smart with storage. 
7. Keep a donation basket handy for unwanted items or clothes. 
8. Do a 10 minute clean up every night. 
9. Keep dishes out of the sink and run the dishwasher every night.
10. Limit what you bring into the house. 

Remember minimizing, maximizes the size of your home and makes it feel bigger!
