Before you can get organized for the long term, though, you need a place to start. I recommend starting off the new year by giving your whole home a once-over using the decluttering checklist below.
It's worth setting aside some time to do a broad sweep, focusing on some key areas. As you begin, toss or donate anything in these categories:
Get rid of any duplicates. Consider redundant kitchen utensils, that tote bag stuffed with tote bags, or anything else that can be consolidated.
Donate any clothing or linens you haven't worn or used in recent memory.
Throw out or donate anything mismatched, like a mug that's missing its saucer or a sock missing a mate. You might find it later, but it's probably not worth keeping around until you do.
These all might seem like common sense, but this is also the kind of stuff we all tend to keep, and it's what makes up the clutter in our homes.
Next, find your personal decluttering method
There is no better time than the start of a new year to commit to making quick, objective decisions about what stays and what goes. Capitalize on those "new year, new you" vibes by being decisive and freeing yourself from what no longer serves you.
I had great luck last year adopting this philosophy with my wardrobe: When I wanted something new, I listed its corresponding peer in my existing collection for sale, then only allowed myself to buy the new thing once the old one had sold (as a bonus, this was like getting a discount on the new item too). Doing this kept me from collecting an overabundance of sweaters, handbags, and shoes, kept my look fresh, and allowed me to share some cherished but no longer wanted pieces with others. You don't have to sell the things you get rid of, but do commit to not rebuying things you already have. Otherwise, you'll find yourself right back where you started this time next year.
