[quote=Anonymous]My advice is to start by cleaning / decluttering just one thing that doesn't get captured by everyday chores or cleaning. Open one drawer, empty it, throw away trash, organize the rest. That, or set a timer for 15 minutes, sit in a room with a trashbag and a "to donate" box and just go through as much as you can in just 15 minutes. Once you start, it feels less overwhelming. Commit to doing the equivalent every day for a week and then build on the momentum. A good trick someone taught me was to address one thing in every room you enter - always and every time. So if there's an empty soda can on the coffee table, make sure you grab it as you leave. Or if you see something on your kid's floor as you're walking out, just grab it and put it where it belongs. You don't need to tackle the whole space at once to make a difference with small consistent habits like that.[/quote]
