Enter the pile decluttering method.
The payoff was instant.
What Is the Pile Decluttering Method?
The pile decluttering method is a quick-fire way to jump-start your cleaning and organizing process.
It involves walking through your home and throwing everything thats not in its proper place into a laundry basket.
Once youve gathered everything up, you sort it into piles.
Those piles can include keep/put away, store, donate, or toss.
I have unknowingly used this strategy for years when unpacking after a long trip.
Unsurprisingly, the largest pile is usually meant for the laundry room.
As someone who must unpack immediately upon returning home from a trip, its a lifesaver.
Resist the urge to put it off for another day.
Pack up the car and drop them off at your local donation site the same day.
