We’ve been loving all of these lovely Summer evenings we’ve been having!.
-Talk about your plan of attack beforehand.Even though this is a decluttering quick-fix, it still takes a lot of time.
One area of the house per day seems to be a pretty reasonable expectation for what you’ll be able to get done.. -If you have any major renovation materials to get rid of, this would be the time to do it!Have a plan to get as much of that stuff taken care of as well.. -Have back up ready.We ran into a messy situation with a turkey in a freezer that had been unplugged for 2 months and had to call on the help of 4 different family members to help us deal with getting the freezer out as well as taking care of the kids while we de-stunk the house.
I’m not kidding.. -Have a small area where you set things off to the side that you want to donate instead of throw in the dumpster, but don’t get too caught up in it.This is the time for big, widespread changes in your home!
So go ahead and donate a few of the best items to help keep your conscience happy, but don’t make another huge, unmanageable pile or you’ll be right back where you started.
You’ve got to help yourself before and get yourself organized before you can help others!It means, in my head at least, that I live in.
that house.. You know, that house that exists in your head as The House.So my hall is that first step..
Some people would probably just throw the moldings up, paint the room, shine the floors, and get on with it.I sometimes think I’m one of those people.
