Clutter Box Cleanup Schedule
To manage clutter efficiently, follow this plan:
Daily:
Spend 5–10 minutes sorting items from any clutter box.
Focus on progress, not perfection—just a few items at a time.
Weekly Focus:
Use Saturday’s declutter session to clear specific boxes:
Den Clutter: Focus on one category or area.
Bedroom Clutter: Put away clothes or other items.
Monthly Goal:
By the end of each month, aim to empty or dramatically reduce clutter in one room’s box.
Tips for Staying Motivated
Timers are key:
Set 15–30 minute timers and stop when the timer goes off.
This prevents burnout and keeps tasks manageable.
Start small:
Focus on small wins each day rather than perfection.
Keep tools ready:
Have a basket with wipes, sprays, and trash bags ready for quick cleaning sessions.
One Box Rule:
Place clutter into boxes as you clean and tackle them during your scheduled cleanup times.
Make it enjoyable:
Play music, a podcast, or a favorite show while you clean.
