It's been said that a messy home is indicative of a messy mind and organized home is quite like an organized mind.

If you live in a larger home, or even a smaller home and you have a lot of possessions and not enough storage to put your belongings, your home and living space can get cluttered very quickly.

So, how can you de-clutter your already cluttered home and what are the best strategies for maintaining an organized home.

Make it the last goal of each day to do at least 15 minutes of de-cluttering in the most cluttered rooms of your home, every day.

Like most things, consistency is key, if you're consistent every day for a month, you'll see a tremendous difference in your home, your mind, and your overall happiness.

Don't treat everything as having sentimental value.

Not all items in your home should hold sentimental value. Be sure to only hold onto items you actually have a use for and be quick to dispose of things that you don't use on a regular basis. Items that can't be stored easily and take up excessive space, should be the first items to go in your mission to de-clutter your home.

We also recommend categorizing items into usability, if you haven't used a particular thing in the last 2-3 months, it may be taking up unnecessary space.

By doing this you'll beat the urge to hold onto every item you've purchased and it'll also make sure you're not too quick to associate value with objects that provide no value to you, other than the false value you perceive in your mind.
