You get some boxes or something like this, maybe for a shelve or as a place to sit down, in which you put all the stuff that’s somehow just lying around - small things, „dust-catchers“, and the like. Fold the blankets on your couch, arrange your cushions so that they are kinda parallel and take anything else that’s in your couch away. The goal is to have no useless stuff flying around and not to have too much decoration everywhere. I hope this helped - I keep my rooms this way and for now, it’s helped me to keep my home quite clean and tidy:)

I would suggest you start from one side of your living room and pic up stuff/ objects along the way, which you don’t use often or doesn’t belong there. Put these things into boxes ( give way; throw away; put somewhere else ). Once you’ve done that, move the boxes into another room and reorganize everything inside the room that you just worked in. If you need help to understand how to organize just ask again. Maybe at the same time, while you’re doing that ,wipe some surfaces clean to clear any dusty or sticky areas. Maybe you could even sweep the floor. This is how you declutter your living space. Although a tip would be to listen to music, while you’re doing this; to boost your vibe 👌

Organize everything by their purpose. Things used daily should be easily accessible, things used once in a blue moon can be moved somewhere a little more difficult to get to. The Mari Kondo method is a game changer too. If it sparks joy or is TRULY important, you may keep it. If it doesn’t spark joy, or have a real purpose, then toss it out or donate it.

I put Everything in piles of categories for ex all sports equipment will go in one pile and then put them in the right spot

Make sure to clean your room daily and there won’t be any loaded mess. Clean your room on daily basis or once in two days. It will help you out and will become your routine. Cleanness is necessary specially the private space where you spent more of your time. The more it will be clean the more you’ll be at peace and mentally relaxed.

Pile everything on the bed and start from there! Carefully and thoughtfully put things back on their places and what’s left is probably something you want to let go! Good luck!

Always remember less is more. Live simply meaning - keep only essentials. I follow Marie Kondo’s tip of keeping only those that spark joy. If something doesn’t inspire me, I toss it out or donate it.

I put everything in a box or laundry basket 🧺 take that out of my living room and then clean. Then I got and get rid of what’s trash and organize what’s not.

First, if you have Netflix watch Marie Kondo’s cleaning series. It will really change your mindset about how to declutter your mind and your rooms! Enjoy!

Start with a small area or task like clearing the table or putting desk papers in a pile. Then go onto putting unneeded stuff in the bin and putting others in their rightful places.
