Think of January 2018 as your opportunity for a fresh start\u2014and a decluttered home as the gift you give to yourself. Here\u2019s how to get rid of clutter fast, so you can take the New Year in the right direction.<\/p>\n<h2>Decluttering Tip #1: Take a First Pass At Holiday Clutter<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The holiday rush may be over, and relaxing might seem like the thing to do. But do you really want your house looking like Santa and all his elf buddies had a New Year\u2019s party at your place and decided to stay till next Christmas? Doing a quick sweep of all the stuff that accumulates during the holidays can help you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/declutter-life-get-control-stuff\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=new-year-decluttering-tips\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">get control of household clutter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can start by taking inventory of your holiday gifts, sorting packaging, putting Christmas decorations away, and taking those holiday sugar cookies you want out of your sight to the office, where your coworkers will thank you and curse you at the same time. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can\u2019t do a whole decluttering project all at once? You can try <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/6-slow-decluttering-techniques\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=new-year-decluttering-tips\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">breaking it up into manageable parts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Just make sure to get a start on cleaning up now, to set the tone for the new year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Decluttering Tip #2: Got Something New? Replace the Old<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2535 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/holidays-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/lifebylee.com\/celebrating-holidays-year\/\">Life By Lee<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider the Christmas gifts you received as motivation to get rid of old and outdated items. Were you gifted a new winter coat? Did Aunt Fran send you brand new pajamas again this year? Did a new pair of cozy shoes show up under the tree? If your new kicks will do the work of several old pairs, try tossing out two. Whatever you can do to free up more space means cleaner, clutter-free living for 2018. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Decluttering Tip #3: Move Stuff to Storage&#8230;Mindfully<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2536\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/580f48f6825b612a5fb3d0e9a08128d9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"564\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/580f48f6825b612a5fb3d0e9a08128d9.jpg 564w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/580f48f6825b612a5fb3d0e9a08128d9-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/455778424771319709\/\">Pinterest<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe you\u2019ve put away your holiday decorations. Or maybe you\u2019re still thinking about it. (They sure do take up a lot of space, don\u2019t they?) When you\u2019re putting holiday decorations in storage, it\u2019s a good time to reflect on all the joy they brought. Putting decorations away with care is not only good for avoiding clutter in your home but also a way to get organized for future celebrations. Keep track of what you pack away in boxes\u2014ornaments, Christmas lights, wreaths, candles, etc.\u2014and be sure tape a list to the box of the contents inside. Need to find a storage unit for your extra stuff? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-storage-unit\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=new-year-decluttering-tips\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how to find the perfect one for you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Decluttering Tip #4: Decide What to Do With Unwanted Gifts<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, you love your mom, but does she still buy you holiday sweaters that make you think she doesn\u2019t know you at all? Don\u2019t make the guilt of receiving things you don\u2019t need or want cause you to keep clutter around. There is someone out there who would love to have a T-shirt with\u00a0Grumpy Cat wearing a Santa hat, but it isn\u2019t you. Decide right away what to do with unwanted gifts, not only because you want to get rid of clutter, but also because it leads to awkward gifting in the future (re-gifting can be dangerous if you can\u2019t recall who gave gifts to whom). Need help deciding? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/ditch-or-donate-how-to-organize-your-home\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=new-year-decluttering-tips\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a place to start<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Decluttering Tip #5: Give to Friends or Donate<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1431\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Dolly_Blog_DonationBox_700x314.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Dolly_Blog_DonationBox_700x314.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Dolly_Blog_DonationBox_700x314-300x135.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why should you throw away books you\u2019ve read, a second immersion blender you don\u2019t need, games &amp; toys your family\u2019s outgrown, or knickknacks and collectibles that may not be a great fit for your home? Instead, have a donation bag or box on hand when sorting through gifts after the holidays, so you can set things aside for Goodwill or other charitable organizations. It\u2019s an easy step that helps you get rid of clutter in your house right after it arrives. You can also <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/tips-donating-used-furniture\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=new-year-decluttering-tips\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">find a new home for bigger items<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like furniture or appliances.

See what you can reuse (boxes can be good for storing items), and what else you can recycle. Don\u2019t forget to set a date for dispensing with all those holiday cards or wacky family photos your friends keep sending you. They already worked their magic the moment you opened them, so why not take an Instagram of the lot and let the originals go with the rest of the clutter in your house?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Decluttering Tip #7: Go On a New Year Dump Run<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need help hauling your tree away?
