We know setting new year resolutions can be overwhelming and understanding what are actionable goals amidst a busy schedule can prevent you from ever getting started!
When it comes to decluttering and organisation - this often feels like an insurmountable mountain to climb, but the truth is - it doesn’t have to be.
Like anything else, if you set clear intentions and realistic goals - there’s no limit to what you can achieve.
Our director recently shared some amazing top tips for starting 2026 on the right foot, and we thought who better to share them with than you!
1) Think about how you want your space to ‘feel.’ Do you want it to feel like there’s less clutter there? Do you want to set up a play space in your living room? Whatever it is, use that intention as your guiding principle for the process. Remembering the end goal will help you stay motivated and on track.
2) Break it down into small steps - start with one room, one draw and then move on! Don’t overwhelm yourself with the thought of the whole job, this leads to procrastination and anxiety about the task ahead… When in reality, it should be a very therapeutic process!
3) Start with spaces which are easier - figure out what you want to feel in this space and make the beginning as easy as possible. Everything will roll on effortlessly from here!
4) Have three categories only: Keep, donate & throw. Very important - make sure you take your donate and throw categories away that day otherwise they will find their way back into your home because it’s easier otherwise!
5) No ‘maybe’ piles! This makes things too complicated. Stick to keep, donate & throw always.
And there you have it! If you stick to these simple, easy to action tips - your home will be organised, decluttered and stress free in no time.
But - don’t forget, if you’re needing a head start and the thought of implementing this is too much with your schedule, email Emma today and see how we can take this off your to do list! emma@mums-pa.com.au
