  • Remove Clutter!

    Monica Rose Designs |

    This may seem very obvious but it is one of the most difficult and time consuming items on this list. It includes not only clearing off surface countertop spaces but also these areas:

    • Clean out closets - Ideally you should aim for about 20% of empty space in your closets. The master bedroom closet is especially important. My general rule of thumb is if you haven't worn it in over 3 years you are unlikely to.

    Monica Rose Designs |
