Donate or sell anything that doesn’t have a practical or aesthetic purpose, including clothes you don’t wear. If you are having a hard time letting go of something, taking a photo can be a way to preserve it so you can let the physical object go.
Make use of hooks, storage bins, and shelves to keep clutter off the floor and counter surfaces.
Follow a ‘touch once’ policy, meaning anything you touch, you will put it where it belongs right away instead of setting it down anywhere.
If you have kids, rotate their toys every few months by storing away half of them to avoid your house looking cluttered or untidy.
Practice the ‘one-in, one-out’ method. Every time you buy something new, find something you don’t use or need to donate.
Digitize your documents. For example, switch your paper bills to paperless to reduce paper clutter and waste.
