You can tackle clothes, books or kitchen items separately for greater efficiency.

Start by gathering similar items in one place. Seeing everything together helps you make clearer decisions.

The ‘One-Year’ Rule

If you haven’t used any item in the past year, then reconsider keeping it.

Ask yourself: Do I truly need this item, or is it because I am attached to it?

Smart Storage Options

You can use organisers, baskets, and dividers to maximise space in your cupboard or kitchen cabinets.

You can assign a fixed place for frequently used items to keep everything efficient and easy to find.

One Space At A Time

Try to focus on one drawer, shelf, or corner instead of the entire room; this will make your work easy.

Finishing a small area first builds momentum and keeps you motivated.

Daily Reset

Spend at least 10 minutes every evening putting things back in place.

This will help you avoid letting clutter pile up and prevent things from becoming overwhelming.
