May having 2 bank holidays is a great month for decluttering. You can either do a major decluttering session on the first bank holiday and then a car boot sale on the 2nd, tackle two large projects including a sale for each one on the Mondays or use the first weekend for being productive the second for much needed rest and relaxation. It’s up to you.
Whichever option you choose, here are my top tips for making the most of your decluttering session:
Before you start: Be sure you know what you want to achieve and get realistic what you can achieve. Your home didn’t get cluttered in one weekend. You can’t really expect to have it sorted overnight. Which room or which area bothers you most, that’s your first project.
Go with the weather: since it is now finally starting to get warmer, make the most of a sunny weekend by tackling the garage if that’s on your list, or the garden shed. Should it be rainy and cold, tackle a room or two in the house, the loft or some cupboards, whatever needs doing.
Baby steps: Don’t try and tackle the whole project at once. Break each job into smaller sections and tackle them one by one. You feel less overwhelmed at the beginning and a great sense of achievement every time you finish another chunk, especially if you have written out a list and get to cross things off one by one. This only works if you completely finish one section though, before moving onto the next one.
More top tips will follow on Friday, just in time for the Bank Holiday weekend. See you then!
