When your space has a purpose and you have a purpose in your space, it is easy to determine what basic necessities should share that space with you. Everything else is "clutter"!

You should have the intentions you wrote down for your bedroom with you. Keep them close by as your work through the following tried-and-true method to declutter your bedroom:

Ready...

Find a space in another room where you can put items from your bedroom temporarily as you declutter, clean, and simplify.

Set...

In this space, place your decluttering containers or boxes: love, donate, sell, trash/recycle.

Go...

• First, start be taking out as much of the furniture as possible and put it in the other room temporarily. If your bed is too large or cumbersome to move physically, then at least remove all of the bedding.
• Remove all items off the tops of nightstands, tables, and shelves.
• Remove all items from drawers and boxes.
• Remove all clothes, accessories, and other items from the closet.
• Remove curtains or window treatments from the windows.
• This is a good time to flip and rotate your mattress to keep it from sinking down in the most used spots.

This is also a good time to replace a mattress that isn't "supporting" you or your intentions (maybe you want to sleep comfortably)? As a Doctor of Chiropractic, I always encourage patients to have a proper mattress for the health of their spine and nervous system. My personal favorite is the Sleep Number bed.
