Start Early, Go Room by Room
Trying to declutter the whole house at once can get overwhelming fast. Instead:
Focus on one space at a time (start with closets or bathrooms)
Focus on one space at a time (start with closets or bathrooms)
- Set a timer for 30 minutes a day
- Sort items into three categories: Keep, Donate/Sell, Toss
Ask Yourself the Right Questions
If you’re unsure about something, try these prompts:
- Have I used this in the past year?
- Would I buy this again today?
- Does it have a place in my new home?
If the answer is no, it’s probably time to part ways.
Where to Donate or Sell
Clearing out clutter doesn’t have to mean waste:
- Donate gently used items to local charities or thrift stores
- Sell furniture or electronics on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist
- Drop off e-waste (old cords, chargers) at a recycling center
Decluttering With Kids or Pets Around?
Keep it light and simple:
- Let kids help pick what to keep or donate
- Create a “keep bin” for sentimental items you aren’t ready to toss
- For pets, go through supplies and toss anything expired or unused
Bonus Tip: Don’t Pack the Clutter
Every item you move takes time, energy, and space. If you wouldn’t unpack it with excitement, don’t pack it at all.
