Backwards decluttering works: a concise orientation before we get practical.
Backwards decluttering works: Quick notes
Everyday, we’re slowly adding more stuff to our homes.
There’s the functional pieces, like the sofa and the coasters, extra throw pillows and snuggly blankets, and the stuff of daily life: shoes, mail, mugs and dog beds.
Over time, every room of the house is holding more stuff and we’re managing it whether we realize it or not.
If everything that sits out in your home has a voice, what started as a pretty melody can turn into a screaming roar when left unchecked.
You don’t want to live in a house that’s yelling at you.
Every house needs hushing from time to time.
Traditional decluttering methods are great but sometimes you need a quick win without all that decision making.
As a visual girl who LOVES pretty things, I found a way to experience the visual rewards of decluttering in a fraction of the time and I’ve been doing it for years, I call it House Hushing.
My favorite way to hush my house is to declutter–backwards.
Backwards Decluttering gives you a big shot of momentum and then you can decide where to go from there (you’ll be shocked at the energy it creates!).
Backwards decluttering allows you to experience all the rewards of decluttering without all the pain of making a bunch of decisions or angsting over if something really does spark joy. It’s like having dessert for dinner!
If your house could use a little hushing, I’d love for you to join us for the Room-by-Room House Hushing Challenge.
I host this challenge inside my private community and you can join us for a month, or save $30 when you join for the entire year with code: HUSHED.
Together, over four weeks we’ll Hush our Kitchen, Family Room, Bedroom and Bathroom. We’ll have weekly challenges and prizes.
No, my house doesn’t stay like this and your’s won’t either, that’s not the goal.
Don’t worry, I’ll coach you on adding the essentials back in, but Hushing is like a yearly cleanse for your home. It’s time!
Join us now for the Room-by-room House Hushing Challenge, we begin Tuesday January 13th.
