Quick Declutter Tips to Start the New Year Fresh

The New Year is the perfect time to refresh your home and your mindset. Decluttering doesn’t have to be a daunting, time-consuming task. With a focused approach and the right tools, you can transform your space in just a few hours. Follow these quick decluttering tips to start the year off right:

1. Start Small

Choose one area that feels manageable, such as a kitchen drawer, your entryway, or a single shelf in your pantry. Starting small helps build momentum and keeps the task from feeling overwhelming.

2. Sort Smart

Use the classic “keep, donate, trash” method to make quick decisions. Set up three bins or bags for these categories and sort items efficiently. If you haven’t used it in the past year, it might be time to let it go.

3. Focus on High-Traffic Areas

Decluttering spaces you use daily—like your closet or kitchen—will have the biggest impact on your routine. Our freedomRail® system is perfect for adjustable storage solutions that can adapt to your needs as you clear out the clutter.

4. Set a Timer

Decluttering doesn’t have to take all day. Set a timer for 30 minutes and see how much you can accomplish. This method keeps you focused and prevents burnout.

5. Organize as You Go

Once you’ve decluttered, take a moment to reorganize the space. Adjustable systems like freedomRail® let you customize your storage to fit your lifestyle, making it easy to maintain your newly decluttered space.

6. Finish Strong

Complete your decluttering session by immediately taking out the trash and dropping off donation items. Seeing the results of your work right away is incredibly satisfying and motivates you to tackle the next space.
