Declutter Your Home for a Fresh Start to the New Year

As the new year approaches, there’s no better time to declutter your home and embrace a more organized, stress-free life. Research shows that an orderly home can significantly reduce anxiety and improve overall well-being. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the clutter, Dana K. White’s book How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind provides a simple, practical five-step process to take control of your space. Known for her relatable blog A Slob Comes Clean and her recent conversation with Mel Robbins on The Mel Robbins Podcast (episode #236) Dana shares insights that resonate with anyone seeking to transform their home.

The Five-Step Decluttering Process

Dana’s approach is all about action without perfection, focusing on momentum and simplicity:

1. Start with the Visible Areas: Tackle spaces that are most seen, like your kitchen or living room, to feel immediate progress.

2. Do a Trash Sweep: Walk through with a trash bag and remove obvious garbage. It’s a quick win.

3. Donate What You Don’t Use: Remove items you no longer love or use to simplify decision-making.

4. Focus on One Space at a Time: Complete one area before moving on to the next, avoiding spreading the mess.

5. Repeat and Build Habits: Integrate these steps into your routine for lasting change.

Dana emphasizes that decluttering isn’t about achieving a picture-perfect home but creating a space that works for your life.
