How to Declutter Without Making Even More Mess
The biggest problem many people face when attempting to declutter their homes is that they end up with an even bigger mess than they ever had before. And this can cause a lot of additional stress, anxiety, and frustration for someone who simply wants to tidy up their space.
So, Dawn, the content creator behind The Minimal Mom, is ready to show you exactly how to declutter any room in your home with the signature no-mess decluttering method designed by Dana K. White.
Learning how to declutter without making a bigger mess is a topic Dawn is asked about quite often in the line of work she does.
She says this typically happens because you get started on a big decluttering project, and then you get interrupted which forces you to leave everything behind. So, the secret to learning how to declutter without making a mess starts with gathering three things: a black trash bag, a donation box, and your feet.
According to Dawn, your feet are the most important part of this method because immediately moving items out is key when it comes to learning how to declutter your home without creating more work for yourself.
To demonstrate Dana’s method, Dawn shows you how these three items allow you to declutter a messy space, like her overstuffed closet, even if you get constant interruptions like phone calls and kids needing help.
And that’s because, if you do need to walk away from the project before it’s complete, the only things you need to put away are a trash bag and a donation box.

Seems like a good idea. I always get interrupted in the midst of any project at all; so I need to have a way to stay “on target” in order to pick up where I left off, every time I return to the project. Otherwise I’m better off not even starting.
My friend says, “it always gets worse before it gets better.” The problem is I usually get stuck or have to do something else in the worse part when everything is out and ready to be reorganized and put away again.
