Spring is my absolute favorite season. The days start to stretch longer, the air feels fresher, and the birds seem to sing a little bit louder. In Springtime, life feels full of promise and possibility.

So why wait until the weather start to brighten up to organize and clean? That’s time that can be spent enjoying the outdoors again.

How to get a jump start on Spring Cleaning

So why wait until the weather start to brighten up to organize and clean? That’s time that can be spent enjoying the outdoors again.

There are so many jobs to get done in the spring months that it can feel overwhelming to get on top of it all. Dryer vent cleaning, HVAC routine cleaning and even baseboards are all jobs that need to be done. You may not do these weekly, but building these into your routine can be really helpful.

Instead, I prefer to tackle all of the little spring cleaning tasks that can be done as the year begins. It helps me to feel more productive and gain much-needed clarity at this time of the year.

So here’s some ways to jump start your spring cleaning.

So here’s some ways to jump start your spring cleaning.

Cut the Clutter

January is such a tough month, and February too. The cold and gray days seem to stretch and blur together. I feel blah just thinking about it! The only environment that I can change and have any sort of control over is in the home, so it’s a great time to cut the clutter.

I dove into our bedroom closet the other day and started tossing the contents out into the room. It hasn’t been organized since we first got here 6 months ago, so a lot of junk had accumulated. There were quite a few things to toss in the trash, a few to donate, and plenty that could be consolidated into a storage bin.

Organize and Rearrange

Once I had the closet sorted out I could move on to the rest of the room. ?Dusting, vacuuming, and going through drawers and shelves rounded out the clean up. Papers were organized, books and knickknacks were dusted and rearranged, and anything unnecessary went into the waste basket. When I finally sat down at my desk to start writing, I felt energized and refreshed. It’s amazing how much your immediate environment can affect your productivity and your mindset.

Getting a jump-start on spring cleaning can help you to stay focused on your goals and all the things that are important to you. By getting your home in order, you can be ready to spend those nice days outdoors enjoying those things you love the most like when the spring season is in full swing.
