10 Steps to Decluttering Your Home
1. Pick a room to declutter each month.

2. Once you pick the room, choose a small section to work on each day–a shelf, a drawer or a closet.

3. Go through the area and pull out everything you don’t need, don’t use anymore, don’t like, doesn’t fit or is outdated. Put it in a box to donate or sell.

4. Go through the area again and bunch similar things together.

5. If you need containers, find the right containers to put things in.

6. Decide where to put each bunch of items.

7. Label the space if needed.

8. Commit to putting things back in the same place.

9. Make an appointment for a household goods pickup, and have a bag ready
to go.

10. Maintain the space by doing this once or twice a year.
