Practical Clutter Busting Tips

There are lots of great and practical clutter busting tips that will help you keep your mess under control and banish clutter from your life.

First, when you have things sorted properly, labels are a great way to keep things straight. Clutter busting tips often mention labels, because you can liable shelves, drawers, and individual containers, and always know where things belong.

Another great clutter busting tip is to name files efficiently. Go with a system that makes sense to you, and don’t use anyone else’s system. Use words that aren’t too complex for you to remember easier, so that you can easily find your papers later when you need them.

To keep things clutter free, invest at least 10 to 15 minutes every day. If you spend a small amount of time tidying up every evening, you will not have to spend hours on the weekend to tackle large clutter problems. Use a timer, or straighten up for the duration of two or three of your favorite songs to make the straightening more enjoyable.

Other clutter busting tips that can make your life easier are to remember how people really live. Kids, for example, have the tendency to lose lids that are supposed to go with storage containers, so buy container types with attached lids. Another clutter busting idea is to take photos of mementos that you are able to part with. Your old high school cheerleading uniform is not a useful thing to keep hanging in your closet, so a great option may be to take a few photos of the uniform, and place them in an album with space to write about memories associated with the item.

Clutter busting tips are helpful to control your clutter, but one overarching idea is to make decisions about large items first. Do you have an old chair that you inherited, or a piano no one plays? Make decisions about whether or not to keep these items and you will see your clutter problem as much more manageable.

A clutter busting tip for your closet is to be realistic about your clothing. If you have items that no longer fit, don’t hold on to a whole series of jeans and dresses that are one or two sizes too small. Keep one item to motivate you to lose weight, but accept your current size and realize that if you do shed pounds you will want to shop for new, updated clothes.

"You've given me inspiration to start a clutter free life."

Madeleine Andersson

Just to say big thanks. I am definitely slowly making a major effort to clear...I am not tempted to even think about what I have just gotten rid of. It is a case of out of sight out of mind. Thanking you. My mind even feels more organized and it's a good feeling!

Yours faithfully,
