The final month of 2012 is before us and our homes are sighing with the relief of declutter strategies put into place up until now. Our creativity has space to bloom, our decorating can be appreciated, our entertaining can be easier.
Shift your strategy - take a new look at your home and pat yourself on the back for the things that have changed, while you look for things that could improve. As you move through your home this month, notice what you could do to make it more efficient. Try to look around with the eyes of a visitor and don't let "clutter blindness" keep you from seeing if stacks or piles make your home look less inviting than it could.
Make some notes - 2013 approaches! 1) Notice the small steps you can take now, but don't be afraid to 2) notice the big project possibilities too, because larger spaces of time will present themselves after this month. Write down reminders to your 2013 self of what you hope could change for the better. How are you going to organize your next year in The Decluttered Home?
