Decluttering your entire house, whether as part of a downsizing attempt or simply to simplify your life, is a significant chore. Decluttering in stages is the most fantastic method to make it easy. I concentrate on one room, one space, or even one zone inside a room at a time, doing the work completed before going on to the next. This instills confidence in me since I see tangible progress at each stage.
To simplify my home, I do not have any fancy gadgets. However, I have designated five baskets or containers for these five purposes:

• Dispose Of: This container is for my goods that have escaped their designated storage areas. A coffee cup in the bathroom or a hoodie in the kitchen may be examples. These are things that will be returned to their original locations.
• Recycle: I keep goods that need to be recycled in this container, such as paper, plastic, and glass.
• Fix/Mend: I keep objects in this container that need more work, such as a favorite pair of shoes that need to be cleaned.
• Trash: I set aside one basket for stuff that can be discarded. These are items that can be thrown away in the garbage right away.
• Donate: I have a container set aside for stuff I may give to a charity or another person. These are the things I can see someone else wanting or needing.

 
I occasionally utilize containers, baskets, or even simple cardboard boxes for this activity. As I declutter, I carry these containers into each room or leave them in a central location in my home while I work. The crucial point is that I do not go looking for containers when I am decluttering. Before I start, I set up the containers.
Here are how I used to declutter each area in my house using these five bins.

Starting off with the Bathroom

I begin by going through my medicine cabinet. I remove everything and toss out expired drugs, cosmetics, or skincare goods. Then I quickly put everything I am retaining back into the cabinet, putting the items I often use at eye level. I then go to any cabinet drawers. I take everything out and rapidly assess what I am keeping and what I am throwing away. I put the goods I am keeping back into their drawers, placing the ones I use the most in the top drawers. Then I repeat the process with my shower/tub. Ultimately, I clear the objects behind my bathroom sink by pulling everything out. Finally, anything that does not have a home can be simply divided into the five baskets or containers I have set up.

Coming out of the Bathroom to the Bedroom

I start by making my bed. When an unmade bed stares me in the face, it is difficult to sense any progress in cleaning a bedroom. I begin by cleaning up my nightstands and putting everything that does not belong there in my Put Away container. Books I have already completed reading, damaged eyeglasses, pencils and paper, and mail all fall into this category. I toss out or recycle everything I do not use, such as empty tissue boxes, dried pens, and dead chargers.
I similarly use the tops of my dressers, chests, and/or bureaus. Any apparel that is thrown about attracts my attention. Into the Put-Away bucket goes everything that has to be folded or hung. I place clothing on your bed if I am scared they may wrinkle further.
I go drawer by drawer through each bureau. I remove everything from the room. Remove any items that are no longer in use and place them in my donation bag or box. I fold and store the clothes I intend to retain.
I fight the temptation to stuff items back into drawers. I put them in my Put Away container instead. Any waste or items that have not been utilized in more than six months should be tossed or recycled. Return all of the objects to their respective locations. Any garment may be folded or hung, and stored.

Finally, Decluttering the Kitchen

Cooking, eating, and socializing take up a lot of space in my kitchen, so keeping it clutter-free may be difficult. As a result, the kitchen is filled with a wide variety of products. I prefer to declutter my kitchen by focusing on one type of item at a time or going through each zone by zone.
The first step is to thoroughly clean each location, appraise each object, and return everything to its proper place. First, I tackle my most essential storage areas, such as the pantry and top cabinets. Then I tackle the bottom cupboards, drawers, and the area beneath the kitchen sink.
Finally, I focus on my kitchen counters. I try to get as many objects off the counters and into storage locations as possible. On the counters, I only store items that I use every day.
Conclusion
It does not have to be difficult to change the vibe of my home and create a quiet and serene refuge within it. I prevent the feeling of overwhelm that comes with decluttering by tackling one room at a time.
