Tips for Supermoms on Having Clutter-Free Homes

Many of us are sentimental on so many things. We find it hard to let go of things especially those that we seemed to treasure for several years. Some of these are old apparel, toys, books, piles of paper, and even those things that we think can still be reused and recycled.  

Unless we are able to overcome this 'emotional attachment' to the memory or story behind each mixed-up random item, you can hardly achieve that clutter-free home you've always wanted. Keep this in mind to challenge yourself: it is only in letting go of those 'sappy' mess that you can keep your homes clean and organized.

This DIY declutter project needs not to cost you a lot. You can consider these undeniably useful tips to help you maximize the space and unleash the beauty of your home.

Practice to always end your day with a 'reset-to-zero' challenge. Make sure that before going to bed, all stuff are returned to their proper places. This does not only help you clean the household, but most importantly, save time and effort in looking for something that has been misplaced elsewhere.

Choose between one in, one out or one in, two out. When you bring one item in your house, you have to pull one item or two in order for you to preserve the level of your household stuff below the 'clutter point'. See to it that whenever you buy one, you already have set a place for it inside the house.

Do the 21-item purges every month. Make it a habit to get 21 items from an area in the house that you wish to organize. You may recycle or donate these items. It actually doesn't matter where each goes, just take the 21 items out of the house. You'll be surprised as to how much space you can save through habitual purging.

Get rid of piles of paper. Whether these are letters, receipts, bills, documents, warranty forms, journals or catalogues, see to it that each is filed accordingly. Dispose those papers that you have stocked up for years, you may no longer need them. If you still couldn't let them go, scanning them may work. Saving them on file saves you a lot of space that those piles of paper on your desks, nooks, and cabinet tops.

Make cleaning fun. Try loving what you do and enjoy decluttering your home. Involve all the members of the family, even the kids. It takes an ounce of creativity to let everyone get pleasure from cleaning and putting the household in order. Think of how stress-free it could be when you get to have a tidy and spacious home.
