6 Things to Declutter Before the New Year
Experts recommend decluttering seven key home areas now to reduce stress and waste, with January as National Get Organized Month, aiding a calmer, more functional year ahead.
- Organizing experts identify seven key areas to declutter before the New Year, with Tina Priestly, founder of Ready, Set, REFRESH!, and Olivia Parks, owner of Nola Organizers, offering guidance.
