Just a brief rain shower can change the atmosphere so much, and when we take as little as 15 minutes a day to shower our homes with attention, we make a big difference, too.
Consider setting a timer. It reminds you that you can do anything for a short time, and with your own chosen end in sight, of 15, 30 or more, decluttering can become a game to see how much you can get done.
Work briskly like a sudden shower to refresh your surroundings. Whisk away some of the clutter that's been bugging you and let a clear surface shine through.
