Clutter cutting ideas for your Muntinlupa house


Decluttering a house seems to be one of the biggest “problems” homeowners have with their living spaces. With all the products swimming in the market today, one can’t help but wake up one day and not remember where your children are amidst all the stuffs inside your home. Having a cluttered space also clutters the mind, and in fact, is associated with less efficiency in one’s day to day tasks. It’s not surprising that clutter reflects poorly on a person. He or she will be easily thought of as having poor habits, lacking in organization, or even too sentimental to be attached to just about everything.
Perhaps you have tried decluttering your Muntinlupa house slowly and steadily, or perhaps you’ve tried once and failed. Whatever the case may be, there are some useful strategies out there that will save you from this dilemma. As when a clutter typically starts with some bad decisions on what not to throw out, so does decluttering start with a decision of refusing to be subdued by the clutter monster.


One strategy is to sort your things into four boxes. This is like that garbage segregation thing except that you label the containers with “Put Away”, “Give Away or Sell”, and “Storage”, and one is designated as the trash can for everything that will be thrown away. This is a one item at a time method. Ask yourself the crucial question of what to sort and what to throw away entirely. After this, do not just leave the boxes as they are. You can have each of the items in the respective containers towed away to their more appropriate places. Make an inventory and constantly update this when you do the sorting session again. Also, throw the contents of the trash can immediately and resist peeking in so as to avoid second thoughts.

On the other hand, if you’re really drowning inside your Muntinlupa house, and cannot anymore afford to dilly dally, you can employ a more drastic method. This entails gathering all clutters from your counters, drawers, chairs, tables, floors, oven, bath tub, etcetera, and dumping them in boxes or bags that you will have to put far away from the living spaces. The next step is like the previous method wherein your sort through each one of them. You can allot a few days of living your life without the mess and see if there are some things that you will miss. Most likely, there will only be a few. This creates instant results although you have to make sure to get through the boxes step without losing heart or energy.
