Wondering if you need to declutter BEFORE you organize?

Many people have more stuff than they have space for so by decluttering before you organize, you are not only letting go of items you no longer need, use, love or want but as well you are getting clear on the volume of items you are keeping.

Decluttering and organizing go hand-in-hand and ensures that those spaces that you have worked on stay organized and maintainable.

Everyone has grand plans at the start of the year to organize their homes. New year and a new you that will encourage more peace and mental clarity, better sleep and less feelings of overwhelm.

But achieving this can be difficult when obstacles come up.

So here are 8 common organizing and decluttering obstacles and solutions to overcome them:
(Video link here: https://youtube.com/shorts/xPVnFxjJvt8?feature=share

1. You have no idea where to start: pick a space that you want to focus on and then ask yourself what your vision is for this area (i.e. more productive home office, more calm bedroom, etc)

2. You’re feeling too overwhelmed to start: begin with 15 minutes a day. Maybe attach these 15 minutes to another daily habit (i.e. tackle a small area while your laundry is in)

3. You find it hard to get motivated: gather 5 medium sized boxes and label them: ‘to donate’, ‘to sell’, ‘to recycle’, ‘trash/recycle’, ‘items that belong elsewhere or to be returned’

4. You get too distracted: focus on one room and one space in that room at a time (i.e. desk, closet, kitchen drawers).

5. You’re scared you’ll keep too much: keep in mind the peace of mind that you want for 2026. Ask yourself if the items you are keeping are adding to your life or draining you.

6. You know you’re holding onto too much memorabilia: there is no need to save everything from your past. If need be, take a photo of the item so that you can keep the memory and reclaim that space.

7. You don’t feel you have the right storage systems: storage systems don’t need to be fancy or colour coordinated to work. They just need to have ‘like with like’ items sorted into them and proper labelling.

8. You’d let go of more if you know where to donate items: there are many worthy organizations in Ottawa that are desperate for items. Check out our Charities page for some options

Releasing items that are no longer serving you is a great way to start the year off and take back control of your life and your home,

Make 2026 the year of choosing you so that you can breathe easily and feel less weary!

While December probably had you physically worn out with the shopping, the wrapping, the cooking and the decorating, January is often mentally and emotionally depleting with new year’s resolutions and expectations for the ‘new you’ you want to be in this new year.

One way to combat this is to start with small decluttering projects so that you can see your progress. These little ‘decluttering wins’ will keep you motivated for the bigger areas.

Here are 10 categories of little areas you can declutter:
--Wrapping paper scraps, crumpled bows and bags, torn tissue paper
--Paper warranties
--Take out menus
--Free samples you’ll never use (hotel toiletries, swag, make up)
--Broken or unused holiday decor (lights, ornaments, tired garland)
--Worn out/discoloured tea towels and kitchen cloths
--Random paper piles (i.e. holiday flyers, expired coupons, old lists)
--Broken or tarnished costume jewelry
--Old candles, mismatched candlesticks, badly scented candles
--Unused or old hobby supplies

Decluttering tasks don’t have to be monumental. They can be small areas you tackle for 30 minutes.
The end result is that you’ll have these spaces that spark joy instead of judgement - and that’s a great way to kick off the new year!

“The first step in crafting the life you want is to get rid of all the things you don’t.” (Joshua Becker)

The next couple of weeks will be busy: fiscal year end wrap up, shopping for last minute gifts, hosting, travelling etc.

When the dust settles you may feel overwhelmed with all the holiday decor to put away and the gifts you’ve received that now need to find a place to live in your home.

Here are 10 categories of items you can easily declutter:

--food storage containers with no lids
--unused coffee mugs or glassware
--old electronic packaging (i.e. iPhone, earbuds, etc)
--duplicate-sized vases
--expired herbs and spices
--extra tech cables you don’t need
--unused cleaning supplies
--expired medications
--worn out towels or linens
--outdated magazines

From all of us at Declutter4Good, we hope you have a relaxing and restorative holiday.

A client who purchased one of our Organizing & Decluttering gift certificates today as a Christmas gift for her mom said, "it's a gift that keeps giving all through the year. It's a gift of peace of mind."
Loved that!
Perhaps you know someone who could use some help Organizing & Decluttering their home? Or maybe this could be a gift you give yourself to help get you all set up for the new year?
Instead of more 'stuff' this holiday, consider giving a GIFT CERTIFICATE for space and calm.
It's a gift that's good for the soul and good for the planet (as we take your donations away with us and distribute them to others in need in the community).

During the month of December you are probably going to be adding more items to your home. And whether these are in the form of holiday items brought out of storage to decorate for the season or purchased decor and gifts, your rooms are going to feel more cluttered. Decluttering as you go along will help reduce your feelings of overwhelm.

Here are some tips to help:
--Determine the volume of holiday decor you will be adding to your living spaces. This will give you a sense of how many current items need to be either decluttered or stored so that your holiday decor can be featured.
--As you unpack your holiday decor determine if any items are broken, unused or in excess and declutter or donate those items.
--Declutter your children’s toys to clear space for new gifts. And by donating toys now you can help other children in need receive holiday gifts.
--Donate any items that you were gifted but will not use or gifts you purchased by never gave to those recipients.
--Declutter your entryway to create a more welcoming and functional space for guests.
--Declutter your guest room by organizing those items you want to keep and donating excess items.

Holiday shopping, the guests, the meals, the wrapping, and the decorating are overwhelming enough without the added stress of you feeling weighed down and fenced in by it all.

As you head into this holiday season create more space by decluttering before more items and more people crowd your home.

It’s not easy to avoid 'impulse buying' as you head into the Christmas season with the daily bombardment of holiday tunes, decor and gift promotion.

Corporations and retailers are very persuasive at separating you from your hard-earned money and encouraging emotionally-driven purchases. But in our current economic times it's more important than ever to give pause to what you can afford and what will add to your life instead of overwhelming it.

Here are five questions to ask yourself to avoid impulse purchases:
1. Consider where this item is going to 'live' in your home or your recipient's home.

2. Is this an item you can afford?

3. Is this item replacing or upgrading something necessary?

4. Are you buying this item because it will truly enhance your life or your recipient's life?

5. Will you regret not purchasing this item?

The volume and variety of products available and the 'click of a button' delivery of these items makes purchasing very easy.

This year consider pausing before you buy any spur-of-the-moment purchases and ask yourself about their long term value. Will they add to your life or just add to your feelings of overwhelm?

Often adding more 'stuff' to life is not the solution but rather, letting go of items is where happiness comes from.

If you need assistance organizing and decluttering, please reach out. Consultations are free and on any job we'll donate items you are ready to let go of to those in need in our community.
