There are a lot of reasons to want to declutter in a hurry. Maybe guests are coming over on short notice. Maybe there’s a room or area of the house that’s in a particular state of chaos. Or maybe it’s time to get rid of the outgrown clothes and broken toys that are taking up all the storage space. Whatever the decluttering goal, there’s a hack to make the process easier and faster. (And no, we’re not talking about calling a cleaning service — though that’s always an option!) Yes, there will be a bit of work involved. Yes, some items might have to be parted with forever. But those efforts will be totally worth it, and then some. After a good declutter, the house will be easier to clean, everyone will have less trouble tracking down their belongings, and even cooking will be less of a hassle. There might even be some money to be made selling unwanted items at a garage sale. After all, one person’s clutter is another person’s bargain!
