  • Halfway through January

    Halfway through January

    We’re over halfway through the month of January.  You don’t have to declutter your whole home in one month, but if you need some inspiration to keep going here are a few more tips.

    1. You don’t have to fill every cupboard or shelf you own, so rejoice in an empty space.  See our blog from last January on this:

    2. When decluttering clothes, separate items in your wardrobe so you can see what you haven’t worn over the seasons.
    3. Your children won’t notice ‘most’ of the toys you want to dispose of.  If you have a shed or garage, put items in there for a month or two first, just to make sure they’re not upset that it’s gone.

  • Continuing the decluttering

    Continuing the decluttering

    How are you getting on?

    Were the last three tips useful?  Here are a few more to keep you on the straight and narrow!

    1. Declutter first, organise afterwards (you can’t organise until you know what you have).
    2. Do ‘stuff’ first, and paperwork later as it is a totally different category.
    3. Keeping items ‘just in case’ is all very well, but if it takes up room in your home or garage and you have too much stuff, it is not serving you and you should get rid of it.

    You can leave a donation to Royal Trinity Hospice if you can afford to do so and find it useful. 

  • January decluttering

    January decluttering

    It is traditional in January to take stock of our lives and make changes, hopefully for the better.  One of these changes is often to ‘get organised’, and decluttering is very much part of that.  Here are just a few of our tips to help you with this:

    1. Gather like with like so you can see what you have (scissors, batteries, paracetamol are good examples of things that exist in different places around your home).
    2. Set aside small chunks of time as you will achieve more.
    3. Take items to the charity shop after each session.
