Time for an Autumn declutter

The nights are starting to draw in and the weather is changing and this can be the ideal time to start clutter clearing to make space for those impending christmas visitors!

If you are anything like me you may prefer to hibernate over the autumn season, but with dark nights comes more time indoors which we can make great use of. Use this time to get ahead of yourself so when visitors arrive you will have a tidy space you are proud to show them.

Set aside 10 minutes each early evening to takle one small area or one drawer. Make decisions quickly and sort into piles as follows;keep, move to another room, charity, recycling or rubbish.You'll be surprised how much you can get done in a short time and seeing the difference can motivate you to have regular mini decluttering sessions so you stay in control and won't need a mad panic before any visitors arrive!
