Like many of us, odds are you may have turned to long neglected home projects while spending all that time stuck at home. It could be that bathroom you’ve always wanted to reno, that room you’ve always wanted to paint, or maybe it’s just time to declutter! If you’re ready to Marie Kondo your home like never before, here are a few tips that may just help you out!

Start with a good cleaning. Decluttering often involves a whole lot of spreading things out in order to see what you have, what you’ll keep, and what you’ll donate. You can’t spread anything out, however, if you don’t have any clean space to spread it out on! Start with a solid cleaning of your space, and it’ll make the rest of the process a whole lot easier.

Date everything you put into storage. Family heirlooms and precious memories are one thing, but for those items that end up in storage, label each one with a date. We often think that while we’re not using something right now, we may have use for it in the future, but dating items in storage can help you know just how long they’ve been there, and what the odds are that they’ll actually get used.

Think twice about new purchases. It may seem obvious, but thinking twice about your purchases doesn’t mean just asking yourself “Do I really need this?” right before ordering it online. Close the tab, walk away for a while, and really think it over. If you really want it the next day, then go ahead and make the purchase!
