Get Your Memphis Home Summer-Ready: A Decluttering Guide (and How a Dumpster Can Help!)

Y’all know that feeling when you walk into a room and everything just feels…heavy? That’s clutter calling for a cleanout. And with Memphis summers heating up, there’s no better time to lighten your load and get your home feeling fresh.

Why Decluttering is More Than Just Cleaning

Decluttering isn’t just about tidying up. It’s about:

  • Creating space: Free up room to breathe, think, and enjoy your home.
  • Reducing stress: A cluttered space can lead to a cluttered mind. Clearing out the mess can work wonders for your mental well-being.
  • Saving time: Ever lost your keys in that junk drawer? Organization makes daily life easier.
  • Preparing for new beginnings: Out with the old, in with the new – literally!

Decluttering Tips, Memphis-Style

  1. Start Small: Don’t try to tackle the whole house at once. Pick one room, one closet, or even one drawer to get the ball rolling.
  2. The Four-Box Method: Grab four boxes and label them: Keep, Donate, Trash, and “Maybe” (but be honest with yourself about those maybes!). Sort through your items, and don’t overthink it.
  3. The “One Year Rule”: If you haven’t used it in a year, it’s probably time to say goodbye.
  4. Sentimental Items: These are tough, but remember, it’s the memories that matter, not the stuff. Take photos of items you can’t part with, then let them go.
  5. Get the Family Involved: Make it a game! Turn on some Memphis soul music and get everyone sorting.
