Decluttering succeeds when approached one step at a time, whether that means one item, one spot, or one room. Emotional difficulty and procrastination make decluttering challenging, so breaking tasks into small parts makes progress achievable. A free Decluttering Cure runs from September 22 to October 5, 2025, and delivers one targeted assignment to participants each day. The first week focuses on setting up outboxes, establishing ground rules and guiding principles, and completing several decluttering projects. The program emphasizes daily, manageable actions designed to tidy the home and improve how participants feel about their space.
Over the years I've learned a lot about decluttering homes and gained a few insider secrets straight from the pros, but there's been one rule that has stuck out because both experts and enthusiasts follow it without fail. It's that whenever you declutter, you should always take things one step at a time - whether that's one item, one spot, or one room.
It's shockingly simple, I know, but it's what works 100% of the time. That's because decluttering can be a hard, emotional process - especially when you're finally facing something you've been putting off. It also doesn't look the same for everyone, or is a one-and-done project. So by breaking it down, you're able to make something that feels insurmountable actually accomplishable.
And you don't have to declutter alone or start from scratch, either. Sign up here (or enter your email in the box below) for our upcoming Decluttering Cure, a completely free two-week program that'll help you tidy your home one day at a time, which hundreds of people participate in every year. It all starts on September 22, 2025 - and by the end you'll feel so good, and your home will be the cleanest it's ever been.
