Springtime - Time to Deal With Clutter

Springtime - a happy time - blooming daffodils and tulips, birds returning from warmer climes. But it also means a time for spring cleaning. For most of us that is not a happy time. Here are a few tips to help make the chore a bit less unpleasant:

1. Begin with small tasks that you can easily complete. Set the timer for 15 minutes and tackle a messy drawer or a shelf. Tomorrow you can do the same. You will find that an unpleasant job can be completed one small step at a time. And it feels so good when it is done. You will begin to want to tackle bigger jobs. Before long, you have accomplished a huge task.
2. Begin with three large plastic bags. Label one 'Garbage', the second one, 'Recycle' and the third one, 'Keepers'. As you work on drawers, shelves and closets, you will sort things as you go. Garbage is not hard to deal with. The recycle goods will mean giving to thrift shops or do a garage sale. The things to be kept need a logical place to live. The whole process will mean learning to prioritize, letting go and giving worthy items a good place to be kept.

In the end you will feel energized. It feels good to come home to an orderly space. You will also find that you can now find things so you can save time. You can save energy as you spend less time searching for things. You can find your bills and invoices as they now have a good place to be filed. This can save money. A tidy home is a place of refuge!
