MONTHS of procrastination...

after months of procrastination I've finally started deep cleaning/decluttering my room

this was day one: laundry (part one)

i had SO much clothes to fold and hang up. this is just the ones in my closet! my dresser is almost full as well. and I have a big dresser! i had a ton of clothes still in shopping bags that I've never dealt with after shopping and I put them all in my dirty clothes hamper. on whatever day i do laundry part two i will be washing all of those, folding and hanging up those clothes, and washing my bedding. tomorrow i can't focus on clothes again bc i need to tidy up for Thanksgiving that afternoon. so tomorrow morning i will be dusting, sweeping, throwing trash, putting things where they go. then the next day I'll move on to whatever needs my attention the most. maybe clothes, maybe decluttering. if only y'all saw the before 😭

... Read moreAfter months of procrastination, embarking on a decluttering journey can feel daunting yet liberating. Deep cleaning not only transforms your space but also elevates your mental state. Start by sorting your belongings into categories: keep, donate, and toss. This strategy makes it easier to visualize your needs and align your environment with your lifestyle goals. In addition to tackling your laundry, consider setting a timer for focused 15-30 minute tidy-up sessions. This keeps the momentum going without overwhelming you. The key to maintaining motivation is to celebrate small victories, whether it’s a neatly organized closet or a clear floor space. Also, ask yourself how often you use each item—if it hasn't served a purpose recently, it's time to let it go. As you prepare for events like Thanksgiving, planning ahead ensures you have a clean and welcoming space. Leverage tools like trash bags and containers to simplify sorting. Finally, remember that deep cleaning is a process; break it down into manageable tasks and watch your progress unfold. Embrace the journey and the rewards of a decluttered, energized living space.
