1. Our Foolproof Decluttering Method
- The 20/80 Rule: Start by identifying the 20% of your belongings that you use 80% of the time. These are your essentials!
- The “Keep, Donate, Toss” System: Create three piles for each item you encounter. Be honest with yourself – if you haven’t used it in a year, it’s probably time to let it go.
- The “One In, One Out” Principle: For every new item you bring into your home, get rid of something similar. This prevents clutter from accumulating.
- Declutter in Small Chunks: Don’t try to tackle your entire house at once. Focus on one room or even one drawer at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
