*Learn to Declutter Your Home with Julie Coraccio* One of the biggest challenges to decluttering your home is the feeling that the task is so large, it seems overwhelming. Julie offers several tips on breaking the project into smaller, more manageable pieces. A collection of small tasks that can be completed in a few hours each is often better for most people than undertaking a huge, multi-day project. However, as she reminds us, we all have different styles and Julie suggests picking an approach that is best suited to you.
Clutter Kryptonite An important phase of any decluttering project is understanding how the clutter came to be. A favorite phrase Julie uses is "clutter kryptonite", which describes our personal habits for buying things. The less we buy, the lower the opportunity to create clutter but we all have our own bits of kryptonite. Julie confesses that she has a weakness for leopard print clothing and fabric and has developed practices to ward off the urge to create more clutter.
