Before you sort through a single possession when decluttering your home, you have to understand what clutter is and how you want you space to look and feel when it is done. This first post in a six part series guides you through this important beginning step.
I always feel the need to declutter and organize in the fall. Something inside of me associates the season with new beginnings. A new school year has always signaled a fresh start. For that reason, our decluttering series is starting as we enter into the month of September.
When I posted a survey over a month ago, there was a resounding cry for a desire to learn about getting your life back on track.
