Reclaim your space, your time and your mind right now, to reorganise your living space into a place of sanctuary. Within this process, you should try not to add more clutter or 'stuff', even if that feels easier said than done. Lynsey says, “During your decluttering process, resist bringing into your home new items until the process is complete and you know you have a space for the new item!” Use clear storage containers Dilly is the author of Create Space– a room-by-room guide to organising your home with a fresh and relatable take on the link between mental wellbeing and decluttering - and provides decluttering advice on BBC One’s Sort Your Life Out. There’s no excuse for holding onto your clutter when there are so many ways to get rid of it in an eco-friendly way. Marie Kondo also recommends asking yourself "Does this spark joy?". At the end of the day, you want to create a new, calm, happy environment after all. Joy is personal, so everyone will experience it differently, but in the process, you'll learn precisely what items you love and want to keep. Ready to give items a send-off? Do so with gratitude and say 'thank you' for how each item served you, even if it, well, didn't. We all have items collecting dust that we thought were a good idea at the time.

Just cleaning out your cutlery drawer and putting everything through the dishwasher will make you feel better. The best way to keep your home clutter-free is to give every item its own home. You should store items by category so they're unlikely to be lost again but in the early process, feel free to stay flexible while you find the best spots for everything. You might want to write these thoughts and feelings down in a journal to capture these thoughts to reflect on and keep you feeling inspired. Make a plan of actionSomething all our organisation queens agree on is you need to make a plan of action when decluttering. But how you go about it can vary.
