Set goals to declutter your home this new year

professional declutterer gives tips on how to declutter and organise your home

New Year can be a time of looking ahead at what you want from the year. Rather than set resolutions which can be easily broken and forgotten, look to set goals that align with what you want from the year and what you need to help make your life enjoyable and fun for you. Here are some tips on ways you can do this:

Focus on What Truly Matters

Reflect on your values and what you want more of in your life—whether it’s space for hobbies, easier routines, or a calmer home environment.

Create a Vision

Imagine your ideal living space and lifestyle. What items align with that vision? Let this guide what stays and goes.

Set Clear Goals

Break goals into manageable steps, like focusing on one room or category at a time, to make the process less overwhelming and more rewarding.

Choose Joy and Purpose

Evaluate items based on whether they bring joy or serve a practical purpose. If they don’t align with your current life or the life you’re looking to have, it’s okay to let them go.

Celebrate Progress

Appreciate the process, not just the outcome. Small wins, like reclaiming a corner of a room or clearing a drawer, can have a big impact.

Maintain Boundaries

It’s really important to keep systems simple and setting limits to avoid re-cluttering, which makes it easier to sustain changes.
