Decluttering Tips: For the Messy At Heart

1. Get rid of the "dumping yard."

Once, we threatened one another to flip the table in our dining room and put it on its back until we stopped doing this. We had two tables. One was for the kitchen, and one was for the formal dining room. Because the dining room was rarely used, it was the ideal spot to dump all the stuff.

You can identify what ends up in your dump and then give that area a designated home. Every night, clean the dumping area. It is likely that things will still end up there every now and again, but if it is cleaned out regularly, it will leave a smooth surface. This will decrease the likelihood of more clutter.

You can make sure that these items have designated homes. It could be a family command center or simple hooks that can hold everyday items.

2. Conquer mail clutter

Our favorite tip for decluttering paper piles is to create a mail-clutter solution. It doesn't need to look fancy. Simpler is often better. First, eliminate all junk mail. You may need to call a few people, update some preferences online, or unsubscribe from some mailings.

You can then create a solution that will reduce your mail clutter. It doesn't matter if your mail clutter is "out of sight, but out of mind," it doesn't mean you have to hide them! Set up a system to organize your mail and remind you to read it regularly.

You can use baskets or folders to manage your mail. There are endless possibilities. The important thing is to create a system that works best for your family. The piles can make you forget things.

3. Reduce the number of dishes to be cleaned

If you have a kitchen sink that is always full of dirty dishes, it is possible that you are making it too easy not to wash your dishes. We're here to help. How many place settings have you got in your kitchen?

You don't have enough if you have two or more settings for every member of your household. Count the plastic plates, small plates, and large plates. This is what should happen. You wash your dishes. You then place them in the sink. There are more settings than you can use, so there is no incentive not to wash them.

What will you do for your next meal? You take out another set!

Now you need to choose whether to prepare the dishes at once or wait for the next one. They won't keep increasing in number. This is how you keep your dishware in check by having less.

Do the dishes before bed every night. It isn't something you would like to do. It's something that we should be doing. Your morning self is going to be thankful.
