Yes, I’m still talking about decluttering! While it can certainly be an ongoing process, wouldn’t it be great to finally get it done and not have to worry about it again?
Having positive mindset guidelines when starting the process is the most important step — and knowing how to achieve your goal will result in greater success. Real Simple’s March 27, 2024, article, “16 Steps to Finally Declutter your Home Once and for All,” was the inspiration for this blog post. I’ve condensed their steps into the five I feel are most important:
Diane’s Take: When moving from San Diego to Scottsdale, which had been our second home, we had a daunting task of getting rid of duplicate household items, furnishings and accessories. We were decluttering 24 years of accumulation in San Diego and were only able to bring what was treasured, essential and of value.
I worked with a team of professional organizers who guided me through the emotional process and helped me achieve success. Many steps were followed, and the result was a sense of freedom and an unobstructed path to our new primary residence.
