Mini Mission Monday is about finding ten minutes a day to declutter. To make it easy for you, each Monday I set seven declutter missions, one for each day of the week for you to follow. It takes the guess work out of decluttering and makes it easy and "fun" for you to achieve some quick decluttering. This week's mini missions focus on areas of your home, top to bottom, inside and out. Here's hoping you can find something for each day to declutter. Monday - Declutter something hanging on a wall or from the ceiling. Tuesday - Declutter something in a closet. Wednesday - Declutter something Continue reading

March to the beat of your own decluttering drum ~ By: Nicole V
posted by
I came across a hyperlink to an article last year about hiding clutter in the home in “secret” spots. Intrigued and curious (why would the writer ask readers to hide their clutter, instead of getting rid of it, I wondered?), I went on to read the article. It turned out to be about hidden storage for items at home (think: platform beds with storage drawers and hidden cabinetry), rather than squirrelling away or stashing your clutter out of sight, which was my first impression upon reading the title. This led me to wonder whether anyone would have followed the tips given if the write-up had Continue reading
Mini Mission Monday ~ Obligation

Mini Mission Monday is about finding ten minutes a day to declutter. To make it easy for you, each Monday I set seven declutter missions, one for each day of the week for you to follow. It takes the guess work out of decluttering and makes it easy and "fun" for you to achieve some quick decluttering. This week our mini missions are all about the items we keep, not because we want to, but because we feel we should. As I have written about many a time, obligation is not a good reason to keep something. In fact it is bad enough that we have things cluttering up our homes, but feeling we can't Continue reading

Mini Mission Monday is about finding ten minutes a day to declutter. To make it easy for you, each Monday I set seven declutter missions, one for each day of the week for you to follow. It takes the guess work out of decluttering and makes it easy and "fun" for you to achieve some quick decluttering. I received a comment from Amelia last week saying how much she enjoys the mini missions, particularly the ones that focus on what things are made of. I am sure we all have our favourites when it comes to the missions. I know that some of you like me to be exact about the items so you don't have Continue reading
Cleaning is hard work

There is no miracle cleaner the will make cleaning your home anything but work. Just like miracle diet pills can't replace healthy eating and regular exercise to maintain healthy weight. What you need in both cases is a good attitude to put in the effort that is required to achieve good results. So if you have a large space in your home dedicated to bottles and jars full of specialised cleaners for every surface then you are most likely deluding yourself. Not to mention wasting a lot of space and money. I encountered just such a situation recently and it left me shaking my head in amazement. Continue reading
When your hand is forced
posted by
Sometimes when it comes to clutter it takes a major event to force you to deal with it. Sometimes we chip away at the clutter slower even than a thing a day, letting go of an item here and an item there. As we all know at that pace there is often just as much stuff coming in and all you are doing is marking time. Then something happens or you make a decision that finally forces your hand. We have at least two long time readers and their spouses who have found themselves in the position where they decided to downsize their homes. In both cases these couples have been reading and decluttering Continue reading

It takes the guess work out of decluttering and makes it easy and "fun" for you to achieve some quick decluttering. This week's set of mini missions is all about those things that build up until you can't help but notice. You generally notice when you feel like the clutter is closing in on you again but you don't understand how that happened. So I have listed some areas for you to check on and declutter if Continue reading
