Spring cleaning is always something that I end up skipping because I am busy with school, work, and well life., but not this year. This year I am ready to let go of all the thing in my life that are keeping me from branching out, keeping me in the same old clothing, furniture, and kitchen rut. So this spring I invite you to go try and de-clutter not only your home or yard but all your life! Springs the time of year for new beggings and new adventures. And with the help of my five tips and five questions for de-cluttering, you will be on the road to trying new things like a new style, new makeup and maybe even a new diet. So what are we waiting for lets’ do some spring de-cluttering! 

| The top FIVE tips to de-clutter any room |

| Step One | Pick A Place To Start 

First things first is to pick a room or space that you want to de-clutter. The best part about this post is it will help you with any room you choose. You could choose the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, yard, garage the list can go on and on… So where will you be starting? 

| Step Two |  Get Together A Trash, Keep, Donate & Sell Box

Now you need to get a few boxes and label them: keep, donate, sell, trash. This will help you to make the quick decision of what to do with each item. If you are having a hard time deciding what you want to do with an item then ask yourself the five questions that are down below and in no time you will know just where to put it.

| Step Three | Do NOT Over Think It 

If you spend too much time thinking about whether keeping the item or not is the right thing to do than you are over thinking it.This can lead to you never throwing away or donating anything. What you need to do it give yourself a time limit to decide, about 5-10 seconds is plenty and if it is something that has sentimental value allow yourself more or just keep it. Because we all have those little things that we will never throw away. 

| Step Four | Pick The Right Time 

A good de-clutter will take a good amount of time, so make sure you start on a day that you do not have to work or run a bunch of errands. Choose a day that you have time to just sit and de-clutter at your own pace. Maybe even invite a friend, pour a glass of wine, gossip and help a girl out. 

| Step Five | Remeber Stuff Does Not Have Feelings 

This may be a funny step but it is so so true, the stuff you are getting rid of does not have feelings and it will not be angry at you if you throw it away. So what it really making you hold onto that 100th sweater or 100th type of tea that you haven’t drank in a year but you think you might one day? Nothing but the fact that it may come in useful. Well, let me tell you honey, if you haven’t used it in the past 3-6 months it should go. Just close your eyes and put it in a box.
