The 10‑Minute Declutter Method
If the idea of decluttering your whole home makes you want to lie down and take a nap, don’t worry — you don’t need a full weekend or a truckload of motivation. You just need 10 minutes.
Here’s the method:
Set a timer for 10 minutes. Short enough that your brain won’t fight you.
Pick ONE small area. A drawer, a shelf, a corner — not the whole room.
Sort fast. Keep, toss, donate. No overthinking.
Reset the space. Wipe it down, put things back neatly, admire your work.
Stop when the timer ends. Yes, even if you “feel like doing more.” Consistency > burnout.
Ten minutes a day transforms your space faster than one giant cleaning marathon. For more simple systems, check out the Lifestyle & Organization resources
