It can often be a challenge getting your home organized in a rush, especially when you happen to be something of a pack-rat or clutter-bug. However, doing so can hugely sky-rocket your productiveness in all areas of life, so it really is worth the hassle. Here are some tips for a quick decluttering:
- Move around the house and search for obvious and not-so-obvious GARBAGE! Get rid of doubles of things, as well as packaging or boxes that you think you'll need IF you move "one day". Be brutal and get rid of broken things that you've been holding onto for "sentimental reasons". You will not miss them.
- Go through the bathroom and fill at LEAST a shoebox with lotions, medications, and makeup which are past expiry date and toss them into the garbage.
- Fill up a bag with things for a charitable organization, and drop it off before you change your mind!
- Box up excess knick-knacks for an emergency decluttering of your shelves and table-tops.. Even if you are planning to bring them out again once your visitors leave, it will give a much less cluttered look to your home.
- Throw your old catalogue pile into the recycle bin. You can always find what you need on-line.
- Remove everything from the floor of one room, wash the floor, after which you only put back the things that really belong there.
- Make use of decorative bins. These can be found everywhere lately and are very handy as they look both attractive and orderly where-ever you put them, plus they are able to conceal a lot of miscelaneous "things".
- If you are needing more cupboard space pick up a pantry cupboard with doors and stick it in a spare bedroom. These make great make-shift closets, and you can pack (or hide) a LOT of things on their shelves. Close the doors and you will be pleasantly surprised at the way you get rid of clutter fast!
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 in-laws coming for a stay the day after tomorrow, or because you happen to be all of a sudden completely through with being self-conscious about your cluttered home, these emergency decluttering ideas can assist you to clear the clutter for good... or at the very least conceal the mess nicely away for a quick fix!
