Have you ever felt that a cluttered room makes you more helpless or anxious? It has been proven that clutter can easily distract you and drain your energy. For sure, this condition is not healthy for both your physical and mental health. Look around your place, and if the mess causes stress, it is time to put effort into getting organised!

 

1.Purge the clutter

If you have many items misplaced, all over the place, it might be challenging at first. But don’t be frustrated. Taking the first step is key. First of all, get rid of things that you have not used recently. You can throw them away or donate them to a neighbour or resell them online if the items are not broken. We do this big purge at the beginning to secure more space to keep your necessary belongings. Do remember: the more you get rid of, the more space you might get.

 

2.Store your belongings by category

Open up and see your drawer, closet and cabinet. If you feel that it is messy inside, it is because of mingled items from different categories. If you have to store everything in one place, consider using a drawer organiser to segment the space. In this way, there is a low chance that your drawers become messy again as you pick up items in the right place when you need some—no need to dig up and waste time to find something anymore.

 

3.Make habit of decluttering

It is not easy to establish a new organising habit. However, it is not that difficult if you start with stop procrastinating. It doesn’t even need to be a huge plan, and it can start as small as making your bed in the morning. Wipe the floor before you sleep, organise closet after laundry, and clean up dishes once upon eating up. Small changes can keep your place neatly all time. It means you won’t be influenced by a stressful environment while at home, at least.

 

4.Put away off-season items
