Is your house full of clutter（杂物）which seems useful but you never use? Do you feel crazy when you can't find something you want, standing in a messy room? Items satisfy you but at the same time too many of them may also trouble you. Many people feel stressed by the amount of things they have. But it doesn't have to be that way. With a little bit of organization and planning on decluttering（清理）, you can create a comfortable space.
Start early. If you wait until the weekend to start, you're not going to make much progress. You'd better start right now. The earlier you start, the more organized you will be during the decluttering.
Keep your eyes on one room at a time. This will help your mind stay clear during a certain period of time. Start with the room that needs the most attention. If you have a lot of clutter in the room, start from smaller areas like your desk, since breaking down the huge task into smaller goals can reduce much stress in your mind.
Donate unwanted items. Decluttering can make your life easy especially when you have unwanted items. You can donate them to someone who really needs them. It makes your home tidier. And more importantly, it also makes those items go exactly to the right person instead of staying useless in your house.
Classify（归类）the items. This follows donation. After classifying your things an important part which can't be left over is to label（贴标签）the box. On the label, write the type of the items and the place it should be put in. Yes, it takes extra time, but you'll be thankful soon after your items go to correct places, which helps you find what you need easily next time.
Don't decide everything now. Decluttering does make your house look better. But if you try to declutter every little thing in your house, the result may not satisfy you. Once you are not sure whether something still works for you, but you really like it, it's OK to keep it. Don't over declutter and end up with buying them again.
