A cluttered home can actually overwhelm residents. In fact, research indicates that:

1. People living in extremely cluttered homes are 77% more likely to be overweight.
2. For people who have hoarding tendencies, discarding items can cause actual pain in regions of the brain associated with physical pain as per a Yale University study.
3. A cluttered home environment negatively influences the perception of our homes, and by extension, our satisfaction with life.

Clearly, engaging in decluttering projects from time to time is good for your mental, physical, and emotional health. Let’s look at some of the most easy-to-execute decluttering projects you can undertake, without having a breakdown!

Project 1: Start with the Kitchen Counter

When it comes to decluttering projects, you can start small. Take your kitchen counter for example. Chances are that nine times out of ten, things will be out of place. It might even be a tiny bit untidy. So, stop treating your kitchen as the dumping ground for all-things miscellaneous and ensure that you sort the counter every day, preferably at the end of the day so that you can start the next day on a fresh note.

Project 2: Clear Out Unnecessary Items from Your Bedside Table

Come night time we all want to crash out on our bed. But if you could spend just an extra five minutes clearing out all the bedside clutter that people end up putting. One arm extension while you’re sleeping can cause you to push a glass down or an annoying coaster, waking you up in the middle of the night.

So, before going to sleep, clear out any bedside clutter. Only store essentials such as a water bottle, your medicines, your phone, and maybe your alarm. Trust us when we say that you’ll wake up with less stress in the morning with a neat and tidy bedside table.
