Pro Tips for Success
- •Block your calendar. Set aside dedicated time—don't try to spring clean while managing work and life.
- •Work room by room. Completing one room gives you momentum and visible progress.
- •Use bins for donations. Have a clear "donation" bin and a "trash" bin as you go.
- •Invite help. Spring cleaning is faster and more fun with a friend or family member.
