I am working on the decluttering, organization, and cleaning process of my home, and realized that perhaps other folks can learn from what works and what doesn’t. I’ve been reading a lot on how to organize and declutter your home. There are all kinds of ideas on what works best. I invite you all to comment on what has worked for you, or what you have done differently.
First, you should know about where I am beginning. My home is pretty average I’d say, as far as clutter goes. It’s not a hoarding situation, but I am certainly a pile maker, and have trouble keeping up with the cleaning and organization tasks. I run my business out of my home, so I have the business organization as well. I work in graphic design, so my walls are full of design work and color. I love color in my home, but not an overload. I am also someone who enjoys photography, travel, gardening, and of course … my faithful dog Lucy. I also have ADHD, so this process can be a bit difficult. I need to accomodate for that. There are 2 dogs that currently live in the house. My favorite colors lately are beachy colors like blue/green’s, turquoise, and coral.
I don’t handle walking into a room and seeing clutter very well. It literally upsets me and makes me feel down. Ever look around your home and feel depressed and defeated? That’s the feeling I have right now. Hopefully, through this process, that will change. I will be exploring organizational ideas and cleaning tips along the way. So, please join me on this journey.
I will also be posting tips I get from a variety of resources. Please check out the list on the “links” page.
