Clutter is sneaky.\u00a0On Sunday, you go to bed feeling\u00a0good about a tidy home. By the time Friday rolls around it\u2019s transformed into a chaotic mess.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all because of clutter.\u00a0Bathroom products cover the counter, the mail is all over the dining room table, and the piles of clothes on the floor are merging so you can\u2019t tell the difference between the clean and dirty clothes.<\/p>\n

\"Piles<\/p>\n

Learn how\u00a0to combat clutter<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re in a constant battle with clutter, it might be time to approach the\u00a0problem using a new strategy.<\/p>\n

These five steps<\/strong> can help you not only\u00a0eliminate clutter, but also prevent it from taking over your home in the future.<\/p>\n

1. Pinpoint clutter hotspots<\/h3>\n

Is there a room\/table\/surface\/floor that seems to be messy more frequently\u00a0than other areas in your home? Determine which spots are often cluttered\u00a0and focus your energy and time there first.<\/p>\n

Breaking down the problem into\u00a0small areas will prevent you from feeling overwhelmed and giving up.\u00a0Now you\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n

2. Tackle one clutter zone at a time<\/h3>\n

Break the project up even further by doing only a little bit at a time. For\u00a0example, if both the bathroom vanity and your bedroom floors are clutter\u00a0hotspots, tackle only one of the problem areas.<\/p>\n

Wait until you\u2019ve finished tackling the first mess is\u00a0gone before moving to the next. Reward yourself with a break between clutter zones.<\/p>\n

3. Rethink your storage solutions<\/h3>\n

Why do we leave hair products, clothes and accessories strewn about? \u00a0It\u2019s probably because we use them everyday and want them within reach. Most people won\u2019t put stuff away if it\u2019s not easy or accessible.<\/p>\n

If something isn\u2019t hung up properly or tucked away in a drawer it\u2019s probably because it\u2019s too much work.<\/p>\n

If your current storage solutions\u00a0prevent you from easily finding and retrieving your everyday products or wardrobe\u00a0essentials, then you probably need a new system.<\/p>\n

The custom closet difference<\/h4>\n

Custom closet<\/a> solutions\u00a0that\u00a0feature the right number and size of shelves for your clothing is a good start.<\/p>\n

Hanging rods can be placed at different heights to accommodate different lengths of clothing. Custom-sized and beautifully designed drawers make you want to put everything away.<\/p>\n

\"Custom<\/p>\n

Portable solutions work too<\/h4>\n

A simple portable bathroom\u00a0organizer can be a great help, everyday. It allows you to carry all of your beauty supplies with you at\u00a0once so you can pack up your products safely and efficiently, instead of leaving them on the counter.<\/p>\n

Create your own solution to clutter<\/h4>\n

Another reason clutter happens is because you don’t have a storage\u00a0solution at all. For example, many people don\u2019t have a place to hold their\u00a0mail, so they simply pile up letters and bills on their tables instead.<\/p>\n

A simple\u00a0mail holder hung on the wall can ensure your surfaces stay clean, and it\u00a0also prevents you from losing important documents.<\/p>\n

4. Ask yourself if you really use all of your stuff<\/h3>\n

Clutter could be a problem in your home simply because you have too much\u00a0stuff. When tackling each hot spot, seriously consider whether it\u2019s worth keeping.<\/p>\n

Most likely\u00a0you\u2019ll realize that much of your stuff is rarely used and can be donated, sold\u00a0or thrown away<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Take inventory of your stuff at\u00a0the beginning of every season and get rid of the things you don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n

5. Do a 10-15 minute quick clean every day<\/h3>\n

Lastly, it’s important to prevent future clutter by taking a little time out of\u00a0each day to put items back where they belong!<\/p>\n

As long as you have a good\u00a0organizational system, this necessary step can be very simple and easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
