Okay, if you're like me ... life just gets in the way sometimes and you find yourself overwhelmed once again. I recently broke my foot, and couldn't really do much in the way of cleaning for about six weeks! So, now what do I do?
Start with one room, and don't invision the entire house: Make a master list of that room - meaning every single thing that needs to be done in that room! If you have plants in that room, write down water the plants. Clean light fixtures, dust baseboards, windex windows, wash curtains, and so on.
After you've written out this room's master list, decide how often each thing needs to be done, and write a little note next to it - daily, every other day, weekly, every other week, monthly, every other month, and seasonally.
Now, today ... do the daily, and every other day things. We are working hard to get rid of clutter!
Let's say we are working on clearing out the dining room, so that we can use that area for eating only. What a concept, huh?
Ok ... now, I want you to set a timer for 3o minutes and spend the time decluttering this area. Clutter is things you don't ever use, don't love, or don't belong in this room.
After those 30 minutes are up, set the timer again and clean this same room for 30 minutes ... using your master list - 3o minutes; no more.
Ok ... you're done for today. Don't try to do too much at once.
