-
When cleaning your space, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. To help, try limiting yourself to one room at a time.
-
When you’re getting started, separate everything you see into piles based on 5 categories: trash, dishes, laundry, things that don’t have a place, and things with a place that aren’t in their place. By separating everything into these categories, you are able to organize the space itself, making it easier to focus when cleaning. With focus, you’re able to clearly visualize the things that were cluttering your space, speeding up the process for putting things away, and helping you decide what to get rid of.
-
Ditch the excess clutter. Some common things that tend to clutter your space include old makeup/beauty products, unworn/poor fitting clothes, expired medicine, unnecessary paperwork, and expired kitchen items.
-
Don’t get overwhelmed. Start by setting a timer for 20 minutes. After those 20 minutes are up, take a break and unwind with a cup of Yogi Kava Stress Relief tea, or an energizing cup of Yogi Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy tea.
