ADVICE

Start Decluttering Before Renovation

  • If your office renovation isn't scheduled, start decluttering now to discover if the space is functional as is.
  • Decluttering reveals what to keep and streamlines future renovation plans by removing excess items.
ADVICE

Minimize Bedding Storage

  • Declutter bedding down to one sheet per bed and wash/replace as needed to reduce storage needs.
  • Extra bedding for kids can be limited to one or two sets; excessive storage causes clutter and stress.
ADVICE

Act Immediately on Repairs

  • Items needing repair should be acted on immediately or removed—they shouldn't sit in limbo.
  • "Take it there now" means either fix it promptly or realistically decide it doesn't belong in your home.
