Getting your home organized in a hurry is not the easiest thing in the world, especially if you happen to be a "clutter-bug" or a packrat. Nevertheless, doing so can vastly sky-rocket your productivity in all parts of life, so it really is worth the hassle. Here are some tips for a quick decluttering:
- Move around the house and search for not-so-obvious and obvious GARBAGE! Get rid of doubles of things, and also packaging or boxes that you think that you will need IF you move "someday". Be tough on yourself and throw out broken items that you've been holding onto for "sentimental reasons". You won't miss them.
- Search through the bathroom and load at LEAST a shoebox with make-up, lotions, and hair-products that are past expiry date and throw it out.
- Fill up a bin with items for a charitable organization, and drop it off before you change your mind!
- Box up excess knick-knacks for an emergency decluttering of your coffee tables and selves. Even if you are planning to bring them out again when your visitors leave, doing so will give a much less cluttered look to your home.
- Toss your old magazines, newspapers, and catalogues into the recycle bin. If you find later you miss something, it is always available on the internet.
- Remove everything from the floor of one room, wash the floor, after which you only replace the things that actually belong there.
- Make use of decorative box sets. These are available all over the place lately and are very useful as they look both nice-looking and uncluttered where-ever you put them, plus they are able to hide a great deal of random "things".
- If you are desperate for more cupboard space pick up a pantry cupboard with doors and put it along a spare wall. These make great emergency closets, and you can fit (or hide) a LOT of things on its shelves. Close the doors and you will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly you declutter an area!
There are times in pretty much everyone's life when they need to do an emergency decluttering and get their home organized in a hurry. Whether for emotional factors such as your mother coming to stay the day after tomorrow, or because you are suddenly SICK OF being embarrassed about your cluttered home, these emergency decluttering ideas can allow you to clear the clutter for good... or at the very least conceal it nicely away for a quick fix!
