These days we all are so occupied with work and chores, it takes up all of our time and energy.

As we work we also pile up a lot of clutter and we procrastinate as long as we can until it gets too stressful and finally you have to get rid of it at any cost.

Below are some ways you can declutter your life

1. Create your to-do list everyday

Make a list of tasks to be done a night before everyday.

This is a great start for the day, you get your tasks for the day in the morning.

Arrange your tasks starting from the one most important to least important. This way you would have completed all your important tasks by the end of the day.

It is also a satisfying stress buster to cross out tasks from your to-do list.

2. Maintain a cleaning schedule for your house and office desk

It doesn’t need to be stressed how essential it is to keep your trash in trash and not somewhere else.

Keeping our areas clean gives us mental peace and keeps away from the anxiety.

This is deep to understand for some, but if you do then make changes to your lifestyle today and you will see the difference.\n \nKeep your rooms with basic furniture needed. Don\’t add extra storage, reduce your clutter. Give up on clothes you don\’t wear, things you don\’t use, books you don\’t read etc. Add some plants to your room, green is always good for the eyes.\n \n\n \nLastly, below are a few plants for you to get started.\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \nreate a schedule for cleaning and follow it.
