How to Declutter Ten in Ten

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.

HOW TO USE A MASTER TO DO LIST TO ORGANISE YOUR LIFE

Sometimes life just gets so overwhelming doesn’t it?  There is so much to do every day and so much to remember!  If you have children, that list increases and even the simplest tasks can overwhelm you and make you feel like you just have too much on your plate.

Without one, you’ve probably experienced waking up in the middle of the night because you forgot your child has a party to attend tomorrow or sent your child to school in uniform on dressing up day.  You forget to wash your dress that you need to wear or forget to pick up some milk on your way home from the school run because you’ve ran out and someone is popping in for a cuppa! Even worse, you forgot someone’s birthday!

With social media there are so many messages to respond to and people to keep in touch with and oh, don’t forget to put the laundry in the washing machine and load the dishwasher!

Just so much to do and its the same EVERY day!

This is where the ‘Master To Do List’ comes in.  It’s a simple way to finally take control of your overwhelm and get everything done.

I’ve decided to take control of life and free up my head, if you’re with me, read on to see how it works…..

What Does Vitamin D3 Do For Your Health?

WHAT DOES VITAMIN D3 DO FOR YOUR HEALTH

Just lately I have been obsessed with natural health and trying to find ways to help my family become healthier and disease free. It appears that Vitamin D3 can play a part in your health, more than you may think.

Like many people, our family members are no strangers to autoimmune disease and cancer.  I am starting to question why?  Why is it that so many people are suffering from chronic illness and disease?

Most of my findings have resulted in our modern diet.  Food appears to be good or evil and we, as a family have been experimenting with different foods to better our health.

My searches, surprisingly led me to vitamin D3.  Yes, that little vitamin we get from the sunshine.  But, it appears that it goes a lot further than helping us cope with SAD (Season Affective Disorder ).  It appears that vitamin D3 is quite miraculous and has the ability to cure many diseases.  So what exactly does vitamin D3 do for your health?  Today we will try to answer the question in detail.

How to Declutter Your Home Fast

HOW TO DECLUTTER YOUR HOME FAST

Want to declutter your home fast? Feeling overwhelmed? I know how you feel!

It’s actually easier to declutter your home than you think.  It’s one of those jobs that we tend to put off because the thought of it is usually very much worse than the reality.  Or simply, we just don’t know where to start.

I have never liked clutter.  When I became a mom, the clutter seemed to pile up even more and the thought of clearing it just seemed like a huge mountain to climb.  The more stuff we accumulated, the more got shoved into cupboards and drawers!

Everything I read talked about spending 30 days decluttering….. that’s a whole month!  I have tried these decluttering challenges before and I lose momentum and don’t reach the end of the task so I feel deflated.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I will always look for the easiest and quickest way to do something, so spending a month decluttering my home wasn’t an option.  I want it done now!

So if you want to declutter your home, but you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone!

Today I will show you how to declutter your home fast. This means:

  1. You will believe you can do it
  2. It will be easy for you to actually get started
  3. You will actually finish
  4. There will be time to do it more regularly

So, are you in?
