4 Tips and Hacks to Declutter Faster:

• Keep a Garbage Bag on Hand
• Focus on Decluttering
• Tackle Obvious Clutter First
• Create Drop Zones

How to Declutter Faster:

TIP #1

Before you start decluttering, get a garbage bag, then go around your house, and throw in any clutter or trash that you can find in your garbage bag. Raid any surfaces and shelves in each area, then look for unimportant or crumpled papers that need to go to the trash, and even empty bottles and containers. Make sure to look through all spaces and then throw away all of the collected garbage.

TIP #2

Keep your eyes on the prize and remember your goal, and that is to declutter. When you go to an area that you want to clean, the kitchen for example, don’t be distracted by the dishes, and just focus on picking up all of the clutter. Don’t try to clean and organize stuff that you see, once you’re done decluttering, organizing and doing other chores will be easier and faster.

TIP #3

Tackle high-impacted areas of your house first, this means that it’s best to pick up all the visual or obvious clutter first. This could be toys, hair care items, clothes, etc., then throw them back in your laundry basket, shelves, and other places where they originally belong. Picking out all of the obvious stuff first will make your house look cleaner way faster.

TIP #4

Creating a clutter drop zone in each area of your house will minimize the time you spend decluttering and keep your home tidy. These drop zones are designated places where you can throw in and drop any clutter that you can find lying around. These could be unwanted clothes, broken items, or just random clutters. Similar to these, you can also set up baskets where you can drop items that are up for donation, selling, or rehoming.
