Life gets busy—between work, errands, family, and everything in between, it’s easy for clutter to sneak in and stay. Whether you're preparing your home to sell or simply want a more peaceful space to enjoy, taking on the entire house at once can feel overwhelming.
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it all in one day. Small, consistent efforts can make a big impact over time. This month, I’m sharing a few simple tips to help you start decluttering—one drawer, shelf, or corner at a time.
Even if moving isn't in your immediate future, keeping a tidy, organized home:
Reduces stress and distractions
Makes cleaning faster and easier
Adds visual appeal for guests—and future buyers
Helps you fall back in love with your space
In the real estate world, first impressions count. A clean, clutter-free space not only photographs better but also sells faster and often for more money.

The Kitchen Junk Drawer
Toss expired coupons, dried-out pens, and random cables you’ll never use.
Your Entryway or Mudroom
Put shoes in storage bins, hang coats neatly, and remove seasonal items you no longer need.
One Closet Shelf
Start with just one—fold clothes, donate items you haven’t worn in a year. Check out DonationTown.org to find local donation centers.
Bathroom Countertop
Clear off products you don’t use daily. Toss expired makeup or meds. For safe disposal tips, visit FDA’s medication disposal guide.
The Car
Yes, it counts! Empty water bottles, wrappers, and unused gear. A clean car feels like a fresh start.
That’s totally okay. Some projects are better left to the pros—especially if you're prepping for a big move or want a full-home reset. If you're feeling stuck, contact me here! I’d be happy to refer you to a trusted professional organizer or cleaning service from my network.
