Do you find yourself having trouble keeping spaces clear of clutter? The key is consistency. Here are 5 habits to adopt to help you stay consistent : Set Realistic Goals: Define achievable de-cluttering goals. Break down larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Setting realistic goals will make it easier to stay focused, motivated , and actually accomplish the goals you have set. You also want to make your goals measurable .

This adds clarity to your objectives. Create a Schedule: Allocate specific times in your calendar for de-cluttering sessions.

Avoidance and Distraction: Clutter can serve as a physical barrier, protecting individuals from painful memories or emotions associated with trauma. It can also serve as a distraction, preventing them from dealing directly with their emotional pain. Sense of Safety: Accumulating possessions...

This means including them in the projects you want to accomplish around the house! Here are five ways to help motivate your kids to get involved in de-cluttering, organizing, and tidying your home: 1. Make it a game. This could look like creating a scavenger hunt to find 10 items that you no longer want to keep, setting a timer to tidy what you can in under 10 minutes, or once you've reached the organizing stage, you can turn sorting like items into a matching game. No matter the game you choose, everyone wins! 2. Keep things age appropriate. A two year old is not going to understand or perform the same way that an 8 year old will, so assign jobs that each individual will be able to complete (with confidence!). They will not only feel good because they helped Mom, but they will know exactly what to do next time. Practicing the skil...
