Let’s face it, even when we are at home where we can find more time with our mobile phones, laptops or TV, we still can’t put a “cleaning” mindset to play. Why? It’s because just thinking of it, already wears us down to the point of not starting at all.

We have heard many times that clutter equals chaos and confusion. But again, it’s very difficult to push ourselves and just “work on it,” right? Well fret not, here are 5 easy hacks for you to start on organizing and/or decluttering that hell-of-a-mess with no delay.

Break down your decluttering plan into smaller tasks

It’s very easy to put in our to-do list, for example, as “clean the kitchen” but are you instantly encouraged to do so?  No. Although the intention is good, it’s not helping in giving a concrete plan of what CAN be accomplished NOW. So instead of writing it that way, why not break it down as “clean the cabinet under the kitchen sink”. Then, the other tasks would be, “clean 2 kitchen drawers” or “clean the fridge”. With these smaller tasks, you’re geared towards eventually tidying the whole space in no time and with each completion, a sense of achievement.

Clean-up flat surfaces immediately when already accumulating clutter

This is very common. Yes, we are working very hard for school assignments, office works, preparing and cooking meals, playing with our children and many more. However, we tend to leave those “spaces of hard work” as once clean to something else each time. To really appreciate the space that we have, why not incorporate a desire to SEE and USE a fresh and enticing space each time. This promotes productivity and focus which are added bonuses to keeping your space tidy.
