 Helpful tips:

Prepare for a successful year with these tips:

Tip #330


Tip #330: How to Declutter Clothes in 3 Easy Steps
First, create a game plan that suits your schedule. Next, take inventory by sorting clothes into yes, maybe, and no piles, using the 90/90 rule to decide what to keep. Finally, organize the items to keep and decide what to do with the items to discard—whether to donate, toss, or sell.

For more details, visit the full article on Better Homes & Gardens. 
 

Tip #331


Tip #331: The 1-3-5 Rule Will Help You Organize Your Home for Good
The rule involves completing one large task, three medium tasks, and five small tasks each day. This method helps prioritize and manage tasks effectively. For example, a large task might be decluttering the pantry, medium tasks could include sorting mail and old beauty products, and small tasks might involve clearing trash and putting away towels. The rule can also be applied to larger projects by breaking them into smaller steps.
