Welcome All!

At the moment, I am in the middle of cleaning out my entire room and I have only cleaned out my closet so far. Spring cleaning could sure be refreshing but very tedious as the same time. I wouldn't let the boring aspect of cleaning subdue the fact that I have to finish by Sunday. While cleaning, I realized that I could share some useful tips I've learned from my previous clean out sessions. I used to become pretty overwhelmed when cleaning so I began to do little things to deescalated the feeling of being surrounded by never-ending junk. I know someone might be going through the same feelings so I hope these simple tips can help anyone while cleaning.

1. Create A Pile or Two.

Yes, I would recommend creating piles but don't create too many. I would usually create two or three piles that are spread out. For example, one pile would be on the bed while another would be near my closet. I would also suggest labeling each pile if you have a hard time remembering which one is which or you could just memorize the purpose of each pile in your head.

2. Donate, Donate, Donate!

For me, I believe that not everything is trash so I usually have a donation pile. It's true that another person's trash is another person's treasure unless they really worn out the item itself. I just like the feeling of giving something semi-decent to someone who would appreciate it wholeheartedly.

3.  Divide the Room.

I always think it's a good idea to divide the room into various sections before you clean up. Once you do that, you work on each section at a time so there wouldn't be a gigantic mess. This is the most useful tip for me and keep this in mind every time I clean up.

4. Multiple Bags.

You must have multiple bags ready as you're cleaning up. You need a bag if you are either donating, picking up trash or storing away items. It would definitely be satisfying to haul the mess into a bag to make more room.

5. Save Little Activities For Last.

After everything is put away, I would usually wipe down various surfaces and replace dried out incenses. It would be best to do little tasks like these at the end to signify that you are finished cleaning.

On a final note, these tips are very simple and quite helpful. It's best to be a little organized even through you're creating a mess to get rid of unnecessary clutter. I hope you all enjoyed this post and find these tips useful. If you would like to read more posts, then check out yesterday's post called, "The Check-In: Summer Solstice".
