ADVICE

Start Decluttering by Removing Trash

  • Start any large cleaning or decluttering project by removing all obvious trash first.
  • This reduces bulk, unpleasantness, and makes the space look better quickly, easing further cleaning steps.
INSIGHT

  • Messes break down into five categories: trash, dishes, laundry, misplaced things, and things without a home.
  • Tackling these systematically leads to a functional space even if not perfectly organized.
ADVICE

Use Trash Strategy Broadly

  • Apply the "start with the trash" mindset beyond cleaning to editing, time management, and finances.
  • Eliminate easy, obvious waste first to create momentum before tackling harder decisions.
