CLEANING&
DECLUTTERING

Lisa's top tips to make the

process easier!

WHATIS
CLUTTER?
Anything you do not love
Anything you do not use
Things that are unfinished or broken

Things that are untidy or disorganized

At the end of the day, everything in your space

should ultimately make you feel GOOD!

WHERE
DO I
START?
Sort through all clutter and decide
what to discard
Move all items to discard to one
specific area of the home

After sorting, organize everything

that is left

Use containers, dividers and labels to keep

things tidy
Set realistic goals of tackling small areas
at a time

Think Progress Not

Perfection!

CHECKLIST
List each area to be de-cluttered and
then break that area down further.
