My 5 Pro Decluttering Tips for 2023

 

  1. Start SmallIf the thought of decluttering is overwhelming, then start small! A drawer is good one. A single drawer can be done in a short period of time. It will give you a sense of accomplishment, and build your confidence to move on to a bigger task.
  2. Value Not CostSometimes we’ll look at an object and think “This item was expensive, I need to keep it!”. Whatever it cost though, that money is already spent. You need to flip your thinking to “What value does this item bring to my life?”
  3. The Four Box Method
    When you start to declutter, get 4 boxes (or trash bags): trash, giveaway, relocate, keep. Pick up each item and decide where it should go.
  4. Get My ChecklistIf you’re having trouble deciding which box and item should go into, then print out a copy of my ‘Ultimate Decluttering Questionnaire’. It will give you some good questions to ask yourself and help you determine the value of the item in your life.
  5. DigitizeIn the November newsletter I wrote about the fear of our stories being lost, and digitizing is one solution to this fear. Apps like Artifcts offer digital ways to preserve memories and stories. Photos are a great candidate for this process (hands up if you have boxes of disorganized photos that you never look at ?.) If the thought of going through piles of photos fills you with panic, don’t worry, that’s something we can help you with!

Heading Out of Town?

For my snowbirds, don’t forget we offer a Home Check-In service if you’re away for an extended period of time. With the recent cold weather, having someone keep an eye on your home and handling any issues that arise offers precious peace-of-mind.
