Clutter Busting: The Home Office

April 25, 2015 by clutterbusting Leave a Comment

There are usually three times every year when I like suggest you clean your office especially every surface in your office. Those are:

  1. The beginning of the New Year
  2. After taxes
  3. Back-to-School

So it’s time clean!

I guarantee that when your office is clean and decluttered, you will not only enjoy spending time there, but you will probably be more productive because you can find what you want and won’t waste time moving piles around or searching through all the stuff in your drawers.

Here are steps to get you started:

Declutter- Before you can clean your office space, you must first get rid of the clutter on all the surfaces and in the cabinets and drawers. This might seem overwhelming, but it will be a lot easier once you take the first step to get started. Weed out your filing cabinets to make room for all those piles on your desk, clean out your Inbox, delete all those voice message, coral your cord clutter, and purge/donate anything you don’t need, use, love, or want.

Clean-Dust, vacuum, clean the windows and throw out the trash.

Maintain- Once you have decluttered and cleaned your space, keep your office in shape by creating a daily, weekly, and/or monthly maintenance plan.

You might be surprised how these three simple steps can totally change the look, feel, and even function of your office space.

Paper adds up quickly. Most people find managing paper challenging. What to keep? How long to keep it?

With tax season just over, now is a good time to get your papers and especially financial papers in order. Be sure to talk with your accountant and/or lawyer to find out what records you should keep for your situation.

Are you ready to tackle your paper clutter?

Clutter Busting: Handling Your Hot Spot

April 11, 2015 by clutterbusting Leave a Comment

We all have at least one hot spot. A hot spot is that place in your home that constantly has stacks, piles or messes. It is the place where clutter lives and thrives in your home.

In my home it has been the one counter top in the kitchen where the mail, receipts and other items moving through my home ends up. It basically functions as a staging area and so everything coming and going into my home usually lands there. Once I got that area under control with constant vigilance it stays that way 90% of the time. Occasionally my entry hall bench ends up being a hot spot or the kitchen sink.

There is a lot to be said by for getting your hot spot cleared. It makes you feel in control and less overwhelmed.

What’s your hot spot?

Clutter Busting: A Constant Process

April 4, 2015 by clutterbusting Leave a Comment

Many people think of clutter busting as a something that is completed once and is done. Clutter busting is a constant process.

Just like losing weight, many people fail at controlling their clutter because they think of it as a destination and not a journey.

If you look at clutter busting as a process of daily routines, weekly, monthly and yearly maintenance and projects, you will be able to have better handle on your clutter because if you just pay attention to your stuff once in a while it can pile up quickly.

So look at your calendar today and schedule your next clutter busting project to start this week, add one clutter routine to today’s list and schedule one maintenance task this month. For example, I plan to organize my scrapbooking supplies as my project this week, today is laundry day (which means wash, fold and put away) and this month cleaning the hall closet (switching seasonal items) has been added to my calendar as my twice annual maintenance.

I would love to hear what you’ve added.

Clutter Busting: Spring Cleaning

March 28, 2015 by clutterbusting Leave a Comment

Here are some Spring cleaning tips:

1. Make A Plan

Jot down the areas of your home that you need to clean, come up with a plan and be sure to budget in time for distractions so you won’t get discouraged after just a few hours cleaning.

2. Set Reasonable Goals

In essence, make a reasonable plan of attack that has at least a 98% chance of being accomplished!

 3. Check For Cleaning Supplies

There is nothing more frustrating than to start a project only to find that you’re out of supplies.  ld clean

4.  Declutter Before Cleaning

It is frustrating to be ready to dust an area only to realize that you have to move  knick-knacks, pieces of junk mail, broken crayons and wadded up kleenexes before you can get started. Ask me how I know. Humph.  Save yourself a headache and get rid of the garbage and extraneous clutter before cleaning!

5. Change Up Your Accessories For A New Look

To freshen things up, since  it’s Spring, try switching out heavy, darker items out with lighter and brighter accessories!

6.   Design A Daily Cleaning Schedule

After all your hard work is done, make sure that you have a good cleaning schedule in place.  Whether you need to make one from scratch or update the one you have, set small daily tasks that will help keep your house in order until the next Spring cleaning
