The 15-Minute Rule
Set a timer. When it goes off, stop. Even if you’re not done. This keeps it from becoming overwhelming and makes it sustainable.
Three-Box Method
Keep three boxes or bags nearby:
- Keep
- Donate
- Trash
If you haven’t used it in a year and it’s not sentimental, it goes in box 2 or 3.
The Result?
In one month, you’ll have decluttered 20+ areas of your home — without spending an entire weekend stressed and exhausted.
Small, consistent action beats motivation every time. 🤍
