You\u2019ve put it off for months, maybe years, but the dawn has arrived, and it\u2019s time to thoroughly clean and declutter your house. Not alone, of course. Even better\u2014with your family!<\/p>\n

Whether you parent young kiddos to young adults, if your children live with you (or have recently moved back home) it\u2019s time to declutter together. Get your husband or wife involved, too.<\/p>\n

You made the mess together, and decluttering is a family affair<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Set Communal Goals and Deadlines<\/strong><\/p>\n

You didn\u2019t create the clutter in one day, and you likely won\u2019t conquer it in a single day either. Clutter, especially the kind accumulated over a number of years, requires strategy. Sit down with your family and, together, decide what you want to accomplish by when. Set reasonable goals and deadlines that work with everyone\u2019s schedule. <\/p>\n

Maybe agree to make the kitchen tidy<\/a> by next week, but donating old clothes gets until the end of the month? Whatever you decide, establish deadlines so is working toward the same ends.<\/p>\n

Schedule Special Decluttering Dates or Times<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be surprised what you can clean in fifteen minutes! If the prospect of getting started with the whole house sets your family ablaze with arguments, create designated times to tidy. Think of these tidy times as sprints, not marathons.<\/p>\n

Set your phone timer (or kitchen timer!) for fifteen to twenty minutes every other day. While the timer is counting down, declutter. All hands on deck! Scrub corners, do dishes, toss things in the trash. When the timer stops, you and your family stop. Even if the decluttering isn\u2019t finished, make the rule and stick to it. You\u2019re in it for the long haul. <\/p>\n

Organize New Storage Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of the problem might be storage\u2014you don\u2019t have enough! Baskets, shelves, and plastic tubs are your new best friends. Discuss with your family what they want the house to look like. A super clean Swedish flat? And old English manor with many shelves? Figuring out how exactly you want the house to look can help guide your storage decisions.<\/p>\n

Getting things out of the house is the ultimate good, but if you truly can\u2019t bear to part with something, a new storage system is a good compromise.<\/p>\n

Apologize for Whatever Was Said in Anger<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember to be gentle, with yourself and each other. Decluttering<\/a> might feel overwhelming, even impossible. The fact that you and your family are working together to clear the house is cause for celebration. You\u2019re doing your best. There may be disagreements, and it\u2019s important to apologize, but you\u2019re all in this together. Take pride in what you\u2019ve accomplished.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
