Do you know what Mom really wants for Mother’s Day? A break. Take some chores off her to-do list with these quick decluttering tips.

Quick Decluttering Tips

Mom usually gets stuck putting everything away all around the house. From organizing closets, counter, and even the junk drawer, it may feel like a never ending battle. But adding just a few organizational tools to these areas can drastically cut back on clutter. Here’s how.

1. Daily declutter. Before you just drop your shoes, coat, and keys at the door, simply create a designated spot for these everyday items. Not only does this organize the space, but it also makes these items easy to find as you’re running out the door.
2. Easily organize. It’s easier to prevent clutter when you set up shelves, hooks, baskets, or bins around the house to put things away. Start in closets or high traffic areas that may become dumping grounds for all sorts of stuff.
3. Delegate. Mom shouldn’t be the only one with the chores. Give everyone a regular job around the house. Put someone on shoe duty, toy pickup, mail call, etc. Switch it up every now and then to keep things fresh.
4. Go room by room. You don’t have to organize all the closets in one day. Make a list of what you want to accomplish in each area. Even if the items start to pile up, you have them documented and can go at your own pace.
5. Set a timer. Decluttering may already feel like a challenge, so why not make it fun! See how much you can get done in 5, 10, 20 minutes. You may surprise yourself!
6. Reward yourself. Remember that long to-do list in #4? Now think how rewarding it is to start checking items off! Celebrate your hard work with a break or special treat.

Maybe after you make it through the list, you can appreciate how much Mom may already be doing around the house. Show her some extra love this Mother’s Day and every time you check another item off.
