HOW TO DECLUTTER TEN IN TEN (#declutterteninten)

If you are reading this article, you may have followed the challenge that I created on Instagram –  Declutter Ten in Ten  (#declutterteninten) or maybe decluttering is just something you need to do.

Spring is a popular time to declutter but often, we have a big splurge then leave everything to build back up again!

Just before we moved house, I discovered Marie Kondo and her book changed my life.  I totally look at things differently now.  I’ve never been a big spender but her book made me spend even less and also made me realise just how little we need in our lives.

She also runs a course for anybody who wants to change their life which you can access here.

The key to decluttering is to keep on top of it and make it a way of life.  However, over the last 12 months with decorating and renovating our house, I have got out of the decluttering habit and our home, although not full of clutter, feels like it needs decluttering a little.

Therefore, I came up with a simple system to help myself get back on top of things and today I will share with you how to ‘declutter ten in ten’ so that you can start today to get back on top of your home.

4 WAYS TO HUSTLE FOR CASH WHEN YOU’RE BORED

Your boss might pay you to be in the office for a set number of hours in the day but you can often find yourself at a loose end with nothing to do. The problem is even worse if you’re stuck at home, thanks to something like the coronavirus lockdown. The hours can pass without anything actually happening. 

Where possible, you want to use your time as productively as possible. You don’t want to spend every hour of every day just wondering what to do next. It’s better if you are provided with regular work.

Even the best jobs, though, go through periods of inactivity. It’s those dreary moments where it makes sense to switch your attention to a side hustle – something you can do to keep the income flowing, even if you’re at a loose end. 

In this post, we’re going to look at some of the jobs you can do to make a little money on the side, especially if you work from home.
