The holidays this year will be far different than the holidays of the past. With lingering concerns related to the novel coronavirus, families won’t quite celebrate the way they used to. Many New Jersey families will be keeping things simple, spending more time at home, and only mingling with direct family members within their household.
With so much extra time at home this holiday season, why not take advantage of the opportunity to do some home cleanup? If you’re like many Americans, you probably have far more than what you need in your home. Over the years, we collect odds and ends and add them to the collections we have in our homes. But, we don’t often clean out the old items when we add the new ones.
Cluttered homes are a significant source of stress for family members of all ages. For adults, this can create tension and an inability to relax. Trying to get work done at home while you stare at piles of stuff that need sorting can be tiresome. For kids, especially those who are practicing distance learning can also feel oppressed with so much extra stuff in the home. Though kids aren’t necessarily the ones you have created the masses of additional items in the house, they are also not the ones who will have to do the cleanup. This means it is on us, the adults, to sort through the items and know when it is time to part with belongings we don’t need anymore.
3 Tips to Clean up Clutter Before the Holidays
If you are ready to do the work and want to clear your home of unnecessary clutter before this holiday season, these three tips will hopefully help you get started.
- Don’t think you have to do it all at once. Spend just an hour a day for a week sorting items into donation or trash piles, and put away items you plan to keep. You’ll be amazed at what you can do in just a short period.
- Plan time to take a few trips to your local donation center. However, be thoughtful about what you decide to donate. Not everyone’s trash will become someone else’s treasure. If you have clothing items full of holes or an old appliance or device that doesn’t work anymore, it’s time to toss those items.
- Dumpster rentals are available for ten days at a time. So, don’t pressure yourself. If you run out of time one day, just plan on taking some extra time the next day to spend on cleanup. With plenty of time to get items into the dumpster and the convenience of having a dumpster set right into your driveway, you can unclutter your home in whatever way works best for you.
