Your home is meant to be your sanctuary. It’s where you should go to relax and prepare to face the world again. The problem is that we often have so much stuff cluttering the rooms of our Southern California homes, that instead of feeling refreshed, spending time there stresses us out even more. It’s important to know, when you are serious about decluttering your home, that residents in Orange County, Los Angeles County and San Diego County call on Junk Studz to make it happen!
Declutter Your Home With Junk Studz
If your junk is overwhelming you, it’s time to take stock of what you have and ask yourself how many of these belongings you actually need. While it may seem like a daunting task to declutter your home, these 9 easy tips will help you get started:
1) Gather Supplies: You won’t need much to begin the decluttering process. Simply arm yourself with a permanent marker, large garbage bags and a few good-sized totes or boxes (free produce boxes from your grocer are perfect). Whichever container option you choose, start with three and:
• Mark one: JUNK STUDZ
• Mark the second: PUT AWAY
• Mark the third: THROW AWAY
2) Attack One Room at a Time: When decluttering, begin by breaking the project into smaller units. One room or closet is more manageable than an entire house. Choose a room and get started.
3) Work in Short Sessions: Your home didn’t become a mess overnight, so decluttering it is going to take some time. Begin by setting a timer and working on a room for 15 minutes at a stretch. You’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll work your way up to hour-long organizing sessions.
4) Just Start: Pick up an item. You have 3 options to choose from based on your containers from step one. If it’s garbage put it in the bag marked THROW AWAY. If the item is something that you use regularly or that you love (not like or feel guilty about tossing, but LOVE), put it in the container marked Put AWAY. If the item is still good, but you or your family do not need it, place it in the container marked JUNK STUDZ. If it’s a broken or useless item that will not fit in a bag, start a pile next to your JUNK STUDZ BAG. Pick up the next item and continue the process. All items must be placed in one of the three containers.
Pro Tip:
If choosing in which of the three piles an item belongs is too overwhelming for you, consider this: If a wildfire or flood were sweeping your way and you had to decide what to take with you when you fled, what would absolutely make the cut? Those are PUT AWAY items. Of the items that remain, which ones serve no real purpose and just take up space? Put those in the JUNK STUDZ containers. In the event of a real flood or fire, you’d never be able to replace everything you had lost, so choose right now what you would need to live and let the rest go. This gets easier as you proceed!
5) Put Away: At the end of your session, take the items in the PUT AWAY container and return them where they belong. Don’t just set them in another room, but put them away. Example: clothing goes in dressers or closets, not piled on a chair. Even if the dresser is a disorganized mess, put them there. You’ll be decluttering that room soon enough!
6) Throw Away: After each session, carry the container marked THROW AWAY to the dumpster. If you don’t have one, we’ll haul it for you.
7) End the Session: That’s it-you’ve finished your first decluttering session! If you’re feeling up to another 15-minute session, set the timer and have at it. Challenge yourself to put everything that comes into this room from now on in it proper place right away.
8) Continue Sessions: Continue 15 to 60-minute decluttering sessions until your first room is organized. Move on to the next room and follow the same steps as above. Make these short sessions part of your daily routine for life!
