You are in your bathroom having a long relaxing soak in your bath with candles lit around you, soft music in the background and the air filled with the aroma of your favorite scent. However, as soon as you open your eyes and look around the feeling of relaxation is replaced by suffocation. You feel like
this because of all the clutter around you, even your bathroom is not spared.
But clutter doesn’t have to take over your life and make you feel like this. This
article will give you some tips on how to declutter fast and let
your bath time be more enjoyable.

Many of us don’t have much storage space in the bathroom, so it is important to know what to store in there and how. Your everyday items like your toothbrush, toothpaste and your bath products that you use daily should be easily accessible. So place them within easy reach, somewhere like the top drawer or in a holder, placed neatly on the wash basin. Nowadays you can get really smart and cool looking matching accessories for the bathroom; to give the bathroom a clean smart look. The secret is to keep to a minimum and to declutter fast.

Next, the items you use weekly like some face products or pedicure products, store these in another drawer like the second drawer. If you are lucky and have a third drawer in the bathroom then store the things that you use occasionally; otherwise remove them from the bathroom and find a space for them elsewhere.

Another thing to do is when you are decluttering your bathroom is to have three bags to sort out the clutter you no longer need or want. Go through all your products face and bath products (if there are bottles that you have not even opened yet and have been sitting in the bathroom for more than a few months consider giving them away to someone who will appreciate them, so put them in the giveaway bag.) If you have bottles that are nearly finished, put them at the front of the drawer or the bath or shower caddy and use them up first. Resist buying anymore products until you have used up the ones in your bathroom.

Decluttering your bathroom is the easiest to tackle, so don’t let clutter take over your life. Prepare yourself and get out your tools and before you know it you will have decluttered fast.

Is your kitchen overloaded and cluttered? Don’t know where to start, but you want to declutter it fast? Below are some tips on how to help you get your kitchen clutter free.

Make sure your kitchen is organized as such so that everything has a designated place in the kitchen, i.e. a drawer for utensils, a cupboard for groceries and a cupboard for pans etc.This way you will be able to find what you want much quicker.

When you are decluttering fast get three boxes, one for throw away,
one for give away, and one for putting away the items somewhere else.

Always start at the top of each section of your kitchen, you will be surprised at how much clutter there is at the top because you could not see it, it was out of sight and out of mind. Work your way from top to the bottom.

One thing a lot of people have a problem with is getting rid of the kitchen
gadgets that they have gathered over the years or a dinner or a cutlery set that maybe someone has given to them. First think, how many times you have actually used it in the last month or year? If it is not even once then you really need to get rid of it by putting it in the give away box. If you can not bear to give it away now then maybe have another box to store away; somewhere else like maybe in the garage or loft. After it has been stored for six months to a year get the box out, and ask yourself how many times have you used the items in there in that time? If not even once then maybe you will feel inclined to give it away.

Clutter doesn’t have to be a problem if approached and tackled in the right way. You just need the right mindset and tools to declutter fast.

One place in a lot of peoples homes which builds up a lot of clutter is the
living room. For most of us this is the most used room in the home. How can
we keep it clutter free, but yet warm and inviting? This article will give
some tips on how to achieve this. Read on and learn how to declutter fast.

First, analyze and think what you want to use this room for. Is it for entertainment, a family room where the children will use the room as well, do you also have your home office there as well, or does the room have a multi purpose? If so designate an area in the room for each purpose i.e. office area or entertainment area etc.

Next, arm yourself with the right tools to declutter fast. Get three bags, one for put away, one for throw away and one for give away. Start with one area in your room, this could be the entertainment area or the children’s play area. Go through everything in that area. If you use something in that area regularly keep it, otherwise if you did not even know you had it or you use it sometimes then put it in one of the other bags. Make sure you have the right storage solution for those items you will be keeping, i.e. CDs are stored in a CD holder or a cabinet.

Tackle the whole room this way. One area at a time and before you know it your whole room will be decluttered fast.

Other things that can start to clutter the living room are newspapers,
magazines and children’s toys. The best way to tackle this is to use really good and clever storage in the room. Have a newspaper stand for newspapers and magazines or buy a coffee table with storage beneath it. Use pretty boxes or trunks for children’s toys or other everyday items that are used, these can also double up as side tables. If you have some extra space near your window you could have a window seat built which will provide extra seating space and also use the space underneath it as storage space. Clever and useful storage can really control clutter in a room.

Remember that clutter does not have to dominate your life, you just need to know how to tackle it. Clutter builds over time so learn how to declutter fast and to keep on top of it.

Essential tips to a sizzling holiday meal:

1. Get yourself a holiday journal. It doesn’t have to be fancy. Start writing in it what you are going to have at your holiday meal. Keep this book as a template for future years. We are creatures of habit and what we do once we will probably do again. The next time we do it will be easier as we will have our notes saying what worked and what didn’t work. Be sure after the day is over and before you forget write what you liked and what was a flop. (If cousin Louie’s rolls are rock hard next year ask someone else to bring them). We think we’ll remember but often we don’t.

2. If you are assigning others to bring dishes for the meal write their name down by their assignment in pencil and notify them of what you want them to bring. If it is in pencil it is easy to make changes. Also tell them how many to prepare for. Tell them what you are going to furnish and give them choices of what they can bring.

3. Based on your menu write down your shopping list and then check to see if you have the ingredients. The things you don’t have write on a separate list to take to the store. Buy as many things as you can ahead of time. By doing this before the last minute you may be able to find sales on items you need. And remember the paper products.

4.Take a page out of a calendar you aren’t using or print one from the internet and paste this in your holiday journal. Since you will want to have your home looking its best write down things you want to see done each day before the holiday. Delegate to family members chores that they can succeed in doing. For instance young children can fold napkins; a teenager could arrange flowers, plan games, dust the folding chairs and get them out of storage etc. Make up a chart in your journal listing who is to do what chore and have them mark it off when it is done.

5. Plan plenty of time to clean the silver, get the bugs out of the light fixtures, dust the rungs on the chairs, check to see the linens are clean and pressed and any other things you want done.

6. Write down who is coming to dinner and arrange for table and chair space. You may need to borrow chairs so planning ahead will prevent headaches later. Make place cards for the table settings. All of these things can be done well in advance.

7. Schedule your hair appointment or manicure appointment. This will be a time for you to relax and regroup.

8. On the calendar if you don’t get something done on one day move it to the next day or the next. This will help you not to procrastinate.

9. Remember to include things on your list to do like clean out the refrigerator so you’ll have room for holiday leftovers.

These hot tips on how to declutter for the holidays can make your holiday go a whole lot easier and almost carefree.

When I organize my home, I usually take a two-step approach to make my work simpler and easier. You can also apply this method of organization so you can clean up and remove annoying clutter around your house. So, here is the two-step approach to organize your home. Just follow the simple instructions and you will have a clutter free home in no time.

First, you need to sort things around the house. This is called the sorting stage. You can start with the least cluttered area of the house so you will not get too overwhelmed by the task before you. You need to have several boxes with you when you start sorting things in your home. Choose items that you do not need anymore and place them in a box. Separate those things that you think would be useful in the near future. Carefully, put these items also in separate box. Now you need to select those that you use everyday and organize them in their respective cabinets or drawers.

The next step is the disposal stage. You need to decide if you are ready to dispose those items you placed in the boxes. Remember, you can sell rare items and old books on Internet auction shops. You can monetize your house clutter if you want. You can also donate old books to your local library or give old toys and clothes to charity.

If you cannot decide how to dispose of your house clutter, simply seal the box and place them in your stock room. This is the two-step approach I usually do to organize my home. It is very simple and could help you also in organizing your home.

To learn more about how to organize your house effectively, I highly recommend you the eBook Declutter Fast which was written by Mimi Tanner.

Are you in the same boat? Do you find yourself tripping over things as you make your way to the bathroom? Are there kids toys and clothes strewn throughout the living room? Do you just want to tear your hair out when you try to find something in the closet?

This may not describe you and your home to a T, but maybe you recognize that it describes you at least part of the time or in part of your world. I know it does me.

I know that it has taken a lot to get me to stay clutter free and get organized. You may be the same. If so, just realize that you may backslide from time to time.

Some people never allow clutter to creep in, my wife is a good example. But, I think that is pretty rare. Some experience clutter that sits idle under layers of cobwebs for years.

For some, it’s an intermittent malady that comes and goes, alternating between having a home that is a shambles, and a home that is pristine. Most people finally get it in gear and get the job done. This can be a problem for some people, because they place such an emotional attachment on “things”. It’s this attachment to possessions that is often at the root of the problem.

Some people hire an assistant to help, such as a professional organizer, because they need that fresh perspective.

So, let’s assume, shall we, that you are going to tackle this on your own. There are a few things that the pros suggest you do.

1) Divorce yourself from emotional attachment to all this “stuff”.

2) Be prepared to let go of that “stuff”.

3) Organize into piles

4) LET GO OF STUFF!

Sorry to shout, but if you can’t make the tough decisions you are condemning yourself to constant chaos.

If I may, I’d like to offer a word or two here. If you can’t manage this on your own, get guidance. This may be in the shape of a professional, but it needn’t be. A wonderful resource is a a reference called Declutter Fast. Here you can request email tips to help you declutter your life.
