Set reachable goals for your decluttering
If you’re buried in clutter, a goal to declutter even one room can take a long time to reach. Small daily or weekly goals can be a lot more reachable and give you motivation to keep going. They can be of the “spend x minutes” type, or the “toss n items” type. For example:
Declutter for 15 minutes every day
Declutter for 2 hours each week
Toss 7 items every day
Get rid of 50 items this week
Donate 100 items by the end of the month
For ongoing goals, you can set up a wall chart to track your progress – even give yourself a colored star every day you meet your goal, and a gold star at the end of the week.
