The first physical step is to get your environment clean. If you find that difficult, use the services of a professional home cleaner. It would be advisable to have them come on a regular schedule to get momentum on motivating you to clear up your clutter.

Clutter builds over time and it simply happens because as we move through life, we naturally accumulate items. Living in a material world, it’s difficult not to pick things up as we go along, be it clothes, trinkets, household items and so on. This all builds to clutter which gathers dust and just serves to distract from the basic structure of the home.
.
Clutter in the likes of a bedroom can also create a negative environment in terms of sleep. Having a clear space in the bedroom helps to promote a calmer environment.
While it can seem like a lot of work to carry out a decluttering project, the key is to break it down into stages as otherwise, it can become overwhelming and stressful.
