Spring's arrival marks an excellent time to declutter and organize. Using an event to motivate your decluttering efforts is an effective strategy. Which one of these might work for you? 

• Entertain - Throwing a party, from an intimate dinner to a large BBQ, can motivate us to declutter as we prepare for company. Use social, happiness-producing events for clutter maintenance. 

• Move - Moving motivates us to evaluate our "stuff" and release the extraneaous. The more you edit and declutter before a move, the faster your home will sell and the easier it'll be to organize your new space. 

• Sell - Having a tag sale gives you a specific deadline to work towards, increases your letting go motivation, is an enjoyable social activity, and lets you make a few bucks in the process. It's also fun to meet the buyers of your "stuff."
