We all have had issues with clutter whether it’s our kitchen drawers that get filled up with junk or our linen closets. Sometimes it can get overwhelming and we’re unsure how to fix the problem! Here are 4 tips to help you get rid of your clutter fast!

1. Choose one room at a time! Don’t expect to de-clutter your entire home in one weekend. Instead, pick one room at a time and focus on a smaller area.

2. Remove junk before you start buying. Bins and baskets are a great way to store our everyday household items. Before you go out and buy a bunch of containers for your stuff, clean the area and determine just how many you’ll need so you aren’t buying in excess.

3. Finish what you start. Sometimes when we start cleaning we can create a bigger mess than we had when we started. To avoid digging yourself into a clutter hole, finish each task before moving onto another space.

4. Give yourself a break! If you de-cluttered your office on Sunday and by Saturday it seems messy again, don’t give up. Put items away before things get out of hand again. Spending five minutes putting clutter back into it’s home each night will save you a lot of time in the long run and you won’t have to start all over.
