The hanger-turning trick
At the beginning of the year, turn all of your hangers backward.
More and more of the hangers will be the right way around as you move through the year.
This helps when decluttering as it proves that you havent worn them so its easier to let things go.
At the end of the year, you declutter and start the whole process again.
Instead, consider where you would usually use an item, then put it there!
This is also known as habit stacking.

We love adhesive organizers that utilize space that would typically be forgotten.
This maximizes storage and is so accessible.

Deploy the one-minute rule
I live by this: the one-minute rule.
If it takes less than a minute to do, do it right now.
Put the scissors back in the drawer.
Toss the junk mail.
Hang up the jacket instead of draping it over the back of the chair.
These tiny decisions add up.
Future you is already giving you a standing ovation.
This sounds dramatic, but think about it.
If you cant keep up with the piles of laundry?
Declutter your wardrobe by half.
If you are tired of the mountain of dishes sitting in the sink?
Reduce the number of place prefs you keep on hand.
You cant just keep grabbing more, more, more while the piles grow out of control.
Its all about the emotions that sit behind the stuff.
Before we do the doing, we have to focus on the thinking.
Its a simple mindset shift I now use with clients who struggle to let go of stuff.
When you frame it like that, the decision gets a whole lot easier.
It sounds silly, but Im here to help clients declutter any way I can.
A complete game changer for me and my clients.
