Steps to Decluttering

The one-year rule, there is a place for everything, and redefining the junk drawer are the three simple steps to decluttering. Joanna Garcia, Psychotherapist with Care and Counseling at Baptist Health South Florida, says when you look at those hoarder's rooms, there is a lot of stuff and it becomes overwhelming thinking, how I am going to tackle this. "Having a one-year rule is, in essence, breaking it down. Preemptively decluttering before it becomes excessive." Graciela Jimenez, Psychotherapist with Care and Counseling at Baptist Health South Florida, recommends making sure everything has a place for itself and that will help you maintain a little bit of organization.
