Map out a declutter plan
A step-by-step practical guide to a tidy home, according to a professional organiser
Step 1: Start with your why
Before officially embarking on your decluttering journey, ask yourself what you want to achieve in the exercise. Do you want to save time and money? Are you working towards strengthening your relationship with your spouse? Does your objective involve becoming your children’s role model? Establishing a clear purpose on the get-go will give you the motivation to start strong and finish stronger.
Step 2: Research disposal options
Knowing that there are avenues to dispose of your stuff responsibly will prevent you from holding onto things that have outlived their purpose. Sell that expensive dress in an online marketplace, pass old children’s toys to a young less privileged family – with over 50 avenues in Singapore to donate, recycle, sell, or swap various items, you can be sure that your old things will be in good hands.
Step 3: Come up with some ground rules
