DAY 14: When is the best time to declutter???

This is a huge question and here is some information that might help ya!



If you are asking this question then you have determined that the clutter has to go! If you wait....... chances are you are going to change your mind!



1) The Season~ Spring is ia good time. The house has been shut up for winter and this is a great time to air the place out while you are tossing!!

Fall is good too! The leaves on the trees are shedding~Great time for you to shed your clutter! Plus the holidays are on the way so are new gifts and goodies! This is a great time to make room for new stuff.



2) Time of Day~ Some people are more productive in the morning. This is a good time to get to work too! Especially if it is trash day! If you get an early start you can fill up the trash can twice. Once the trashman has come you can't go and retrieve what you tossed.

It probably isn't a good time to try to declutter right before bed~Unless #3 applies then by all means get to work!



3) Mood~ I always seem to get alot of decluttering done when I'm angry or mad! ( If my DH wants something done he just upsets me! ) When you are mad you can really toss some junk~however be prepared for tossing remorse~usually you don't care about what you are tossing so chances are you toss things that you didn't mean to.

If you are full of energy this is a great time too!

4) Age~ Learning about decluttering at a young age will save you lots of heartache later in life! If you are able to keep your stuff neat and tidy for a lifetime you have totally got this under control. Start young~teach your children early! It is amazing what little things young children can do to help keep thier stuff orderly.

How many of you have had to deal with other peoples stuff once they have passed away?? It is a very difficult task having to deal with other peoples stuff. Chances are you are clueless as to the value.

The lesson here is don't let your junk hender your family. Take charge of your stuff NOW!



5) TODAY!~ This is the perfect time to get started in getting your home in order! Use every chance you get to work at it! Long weekends, regular weekends and vacation. By utilizing your time you won't get overhwlemed with decluttering. Work at it at a steady pace.



By using these tips you will be on your way to getting the junk out!

You can do it!!!
