No matter how often you clean your home, clutter always seems to pile up immediately afterward. And as much as you want to have a clean and tidy home, you also don’t want to spend all of your free time decluttering every room either.

Luckily, there is a middle ground for you. Here are two tips on decluttering your home, straight from the junk hauling experts at Move and Junk, a moving business in Gallatin, TN.

1. Clean your home in short bursts of time

The main thing that prevents most people from cleaning their home is how big of a task it seems. They see it as this huge obstacle that will require a day (or more) to complete, and they’ll keep putting this chore off as a result.

But if you break it up into smaller manageable chunks of time that you can do every day or every few days, you can build momentum and whittle away at the amount of cleaning you’ll have to do on a weekend.

Set a timer for five or ten minutes, and dedicate yourself to cleaning one room as much as you can within that time period. Pick things up off the floor, put things away in their proper places, or dust and wipe down surfaces. Once the timer goes off, that’s it. You’re done — until the next time you do this.

Continue cleaning in short bursts and soon enough, you’ll find that you’ve actually accomplished a considerable amount of decluttering. Your home will look all the better for it, too.

2. Make a list of all the cleaning tasks you need to complete

For many people, creating a decluttering list serves a variety of purposes.

For one, it helps you visualize how much (or how little) cleaning you actually need to get done. Instead of envisioning this huge task that’s impossible to complete, you see how much you actually need to do.

Crossing off every task as you complete them gives you a sense of accomplishment, making you more likely to do the next task… and the next.

Plus, if you clean in short bursts of time, a running list of cleaning tasks can help you determine right away what you can do in that allotted time. You spend less time trying to decide what you’ll do and more time actually doing it.
