Pick another room to declutter today, or you can go back to the room you worked in yesterday. Being consistent with decluttering will bring you peace and organization in your home. Teach your children to declutter and pick up behind themselves. If they have toys and things scattered throughout their room, they can’t enjoy it. It can also effect their sleep at night if there room is a mess. Make it fun to pick up and declutter. Have contests to see who can put away 27 things first. If they have more stuff than they have room for, consider using plastic bins to sort things and do toy rotation. The less they have access to at one time, the more creative they will be.
