The key to stress-free spring clearing isn’t spending a whole week decluttering—it’s about building simple daily habits.
Rather than setting aside an entire weekend for a decluttering marathon (which, let’s be honest, often leads to exhaustion and frustration), try this instead:
✅ Adopt the “One-Minute Rule” – If a task takes less than a minute, do it immediately. Whether it’s putting something back in its place, tossing out junk mail, or wiping down a surface—small actions add up!
✅ Create a Home for Everything – When every item has a designated place, decision-making becomes effortless. No more wondering where to put things or wasting time searching for misplaced items.
✅ Declutter in Bite-Sized Chunks – Rather than tackling an entire room, focus on one small area at a time—a single drawer, a shelf, or even just your handbag.
✅ Be Ruthless About What You Keep – Ask yourself: Would I buy this again today? If the answer is no, it might be time to let it go.
A Mindset Shift That Changes Everything
When I first started simplifying my home, it wasn’t an overnight process. It took conscious effort and consistency.
At first, I found myself falling into old habits—holding onto things “just in case” or thinking I’d get around to organising them later. But over time, I realised something important:
The less I owned, the easier my life became.
I no longer wasted time searching for lost keys or scrambling to find a child’s school kit at the last minute. My mornings were smoother, my home felt calmer, and I had more time to focus on what truly mattered.
And the best part? Once you build these habits, a big spring clear-out becomes unnecessary—because your home stays organised all year round.
