Hi friend!
Are you hosting for the holidays this year? Maybe it's your first time ever or you're an old hat, but want to be prepared ahead of time instead of playing catch up.
Or maybe...you've hesitated hosting because you don't like what your guests will be seeing once they come inside.
In this five week mini series, I'll be guiding you through your home holiday preparedness plan. Week by week we'll be focusing on a new goal for our home and with focused attention, we'll be guest ready with a clean, organized, stylish home that is fit for even the pickiest (or nosiest) of guests. Not only will you be getting your home in order, but this mini series will teach you how to decorate a table as beautiful as the food you will be spending hours preparing.
In today's episode (and the focus of this week), we are talking about decluttering. Our focus will be to declutter areas that our guests will be privy to: living room, kitchen, dining room, guest bedroom and bathrooms - as well as the pantry and refrigerator.
Why declutter before the holidays? Clutter is chaos and the visual over stimulation of your visual chaos ties directly to your stress level. Removing AS MUCH STRESS as you can before hosting extra people, making extra food, engaging in sometimes interesting conversations lightens the load before the load gets heavy.
You will not be able to control the conversations at the dinner table and which side of the political line Uncle Eddie is on, but you can control your clutter.
Using the three box method this week for every room in your home where guests will have access to, will set you up for a stress free holiday.
Three Box Method for Decluttering:
1. Get three boxes or bags
2. Label them: donate, trash and relocate (bonus: you can also have one for recycle)
3. Do one guest accessible room at a time (start small to big, big to small, easy to hard, etc).
4. Choose a companion (podcast, audiobook, TV show) and let that companion be your timer
5. Give yourself a 'carrot' or reward for each room finished. Allow yourself to complete one room/area per day.
6. Apply the one-touch rule: you touch each item one time and place it into one of the boxes
The DONATE bag goes directly into the car for delivery.
The TRASH (and RECYCLE) bag goes directly.
The RELOCATE bag gets emptied out and items placed categorically for more efficient put-away.
Do you NEED or WANT help decluttering? Decorating SOS Coaching Calls are designed to help you make your space beautiful - and making your space beautiful isn't always about what you bring IN.
