Bite-Sized Clutter-Clearing
Focusing first on small areas where you can see dramatic progress will help you stay motivated to keep going with the larger, tougher clutter spots. Linen closets, bathroom cabinets, and kitchen drawers (to name just a few possible small spaces) can be easily tackled in one blitz session, or in a series of 10-20 min. sessions over the course of several consecutive days.
This is also a good way to get restarted when your clutter-clearing efforts have slowed to a stop and you've lostmotivation. Go back to a visible "clutter magnet" spot that you cleared before and make it beautiful again. This will remind you how good it feels to make visible progress and will inspire you to keep going.
