Year-end is a good time to donate unused items and establish a routine for daily, monthly, yearly and seasonal decluttering. It’s well documented that when you choose to declutter—and have less stuff—you can reap the rewards of a simpler life.
I’ve established some daily routines to provide for a more peaceful and organized day:
You may also consider doing some monthly decluttering such as going through your closet and your desk drawers, some seasonal decluttering such as checking your laundry supplies, sorting through kids’ clothes and ensuring the garage is functional and timely, and some annual decluttering such as going through older paper files to see what you can shred.
Diane’s Take: A clean and organized home contributes to productivity and well-being. The daily tasks noted above take a small amount of time but have a huge effect on your state of mind. Who doesn’t want to start and end the day feeling calm, clear and organized?
