The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and togetherness with loved ones. But it can also leave us with cluttered homes and a feeling of disarray. As the cold winter weather sets in, it is the perfect opportunity to take some time to organize and declutter your living space. Not only will this help you feel more in control and at peace, but it can also help you prepare for a fresh start in the new year.
One of the best ways to tackle post-holiday clutter is to focus on finding designated spaces or rooms to give everything a home. Some of the new gifts that you received and the chore of putting away the holiday decorations could mean investing in storage containers, shelving, or other organizational tools that will help you keep everything in its place.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by the idea of tackling this post-holiday seasonal chore, start small and work in time-blocks…for instance 20 minute increments. Work as quickly as possible and then take a 4-minute break! Once you’ve successfully organized one small area, you’ll feel motivated to tackle the next one. Repeat the steps as stated above!
