Begin As Soon As Possible
Whether your goal is simply decluttering or estate downsizing, you will want to ensure that you begin as soon as possible. A good rule to follow is to begin three months before your end goal date, but the earlier you start, the better.
Once you begin, deciding on your decluttering process will be the next step. There are a variety of organization methods out there. Whatever way you choose, remember the ultimate goal is to find a harmonious workflow, and in the end, you will find that the only belongings you have are the ones you need.
Go At Your Own Pace
The process of decluttering your entire home can quickly become overwhelming, so be sure to pace yourself. Do not push it, or else you will find that you have thrown out items you need. The best thing you can do while going through your belongings is to take it one step at a time. Work on one room at a time to alleviate any dread as you begin this process. Going through one room at a time will also help make decluttering more manageable and make it not seem so daunting.
It will also be helpful to create a schedule or a plan and break down room by room what you need to go through, as well as keep you on track with your end goal. Remember, taking the first step to decluttering your home is the most important. Once you have begun, you have already made tremendous progress.
