How to Make De-cluttering Your Home an Enjoyable Process

Let’s face it, you likely have a large amount of junk lying around your home. These could be pieces of furniture that you no longer use, broken belongings, yard waste, and so much more. You need to spend the time clearing out both your indoor and outdoor living space. This will not only help you live in a more clean and organized environment, but you will notice that your stress levels decrease, you don’t waste time looking for lost items, and more.

Decluttering both the interior and exterior of your property is a chore than people dread. However, it should be done well and it should be a task that is completed often. Here are just a few ideas to help you make the decluttering process more enjoyable.

Start Small

You don’t have to tackle the decluttering process in one day. In fact, when you do, you quickly run out of steam and do a poor job. To help you with this task, start small. Focus on just one area of your home. For example, focus on one closet shelf or one wall of cupboards today and then tomorrow, move to the other side of the room or the next closet shelf. When you do just a small section at once, you will see progress but you will not quickly burn out.

Set a Timer

One of the most challenging aspects of the decluttering process is simply starting. It can be difficult to get off the couch and get to work. To help you, start a timer. Put away all distractions and place all of your attention on decluttering your home until the timer goes off. Once it does, you can be done for the day or you can take a break. You may even find that once the timer goes off, you just keep working.

Work with a Friend

There is no rule that you have to declutter your property on your own. When you work with a friend, this task becomes much more enjoyable and time will go by more quickly. You will have someone to talk to as you work and you will get twice as much done.

Having a friend assist is also a great way to get rid of old belongings. If you have any emotional attachment to particular items or you struggle to throw away your junk, a friend can be the person to toss the item or can help you make the decision to keep it.

Hire the Pros

Sometimes the task is beyond your abilities or you don’t have the time or the resources to help. In these situations, it is best to call in the professionals. Dave’s Custom Hauling can haul everything from your property such as old appliances, furniture, piles of trash, and landscaping items. You simply let them know what you need to be removed and a team will arrive at your home to take care of it.
