I love decluttering and organising – and lucky me, that’s what I do for a living! – but I appreciate that for many it’s an overwhelming chore. Here are four habits you need to cultivate if you want to limit the time you spend to keep your home organised.
Inspired by Netflix’s Tidying up with Marie Kondo series to declutter your home? Attracted by her promise that “when you have finished cleaning up once and for all, you’ll never again relapse into clutter”? Well, let me ask you a few questions so you can make sure the KonMari method is for you. Because as someone who gets paid by others to help them declutter and get organised, I can tell you it is not for everyone. But the good news is that there are alternatives to it.
Do you wonder why it is every time you try to organise your home, you end up right back where you started? Hum… let me guess…
You know there’re plenty of benefits for you from clearing the clutter and getting organised. Yet you’re stuck and can’t get organised. Maybe it’s your mind-set towards organising that’s holding you back. So let me clear some common misconceptions about organising, which will hopefully give you the motivation to get started.
Meal planning is one of these things that many women aspire to but don’t make happen. If that’s your case, instead of focusing on the task, try to focus on the benefits as it’ll surely encourage you to get started. And, as you’ll find out below, there are plenty of benefits!
January is always a frantic month for me as I get many requests from clients to help them declutter their home as part of their new year resolutions or in preparation of Chinese New Year. While the idea of having a fresh start at the beginning of the year is certainly invigorating, don’t worry if you haven’t scheduled a decluttering exercise yet as there are plenty of other good times to declutter your home.
