If you’re an avid baker, then you probably rely on that little light in the back of your oven. The oven light helps you make sure everything is rising and browning like it should, whether you’re baking a batch of blueberry muffins or loaf of banana bread.While you may have a tried-and-true method for cleaning your oven, what about changing the oven light? Needless to say, if you’re absolutely lost when that little bulb burns out, you’re in the right place.

Whether you joined the Cure on Jan. 3 or just yesterday, you’ve done amazing work this month.

It's also time to empty your outbox.

Spoiler: It's your linens.

First, do a quick sweep of the storage areas; then clean up the bathroom surfaces and fixtures.

First, build a landing strip. Then, make using it a habit.

And don't forget to treat yourself to flowers!

Do this and you're on your way to become a "clean person."

Spend a little time loving on your favorite seat at home.

You don't need to finish your project today; just do what you can.

This is one of the best ways to add a bit of you to your home.

And, since it's Friday, don't forget to treat yourself to flowers.

This trick will keep you accountable in the second half of the Cure.

You can do this anytime, at any pace.

Sadly, "decluttering" isn't a project that you can check off your list forever.

Choose your favorite room, or the one you spend the most time in, and sit in a place in that room you don’t usually sit.

A clean and a treat is a time-honored Cure tradition.

Go ahead and get rid of anything that has literally gone bad.

It doesn't even need to be a box. It could be an IKEA bag!

Focus on what’s doable and realistic.

Whether this is your first "drawer day" or not, today is the beginning of a 20-day journey that will get your home feeling refreshed and renewed.

If you think clearing a bit of clutter, hanging some artwork, and cleaning up around the house might help you feel a bit more in control of things right now — we can help!

How you do this can be as quick and simple as a drop-off at a charity shop, or as detailed and fruitful as making for-sale listings for all of your stuff in good shape.

You have to rely on your brain to make good choices. But brains can't be trusted. Your brain is going to try to convince you that you need things you don't need.

Whatever time you have to dedicate to decluttering, there might not be a better target with a higher return on investment than the bathroom.

It’s like chipping away at marble to reveal a statue.

Sentimental clutter is anything you’re hanging onto not for its usefulness or even its beauty, but just because of what it represents to you.

The environment you fall asleep in certainly has an impact on the quality of the rest you get. And who couldn't use a better night's sleep?

This five-step method is the framework I use to get a bunch of large, neglected paper piles down to something much more manageable — or even gone completely.

Chances are, to really commit to a clutter-free life, you need to re-frame your relationship to things in general.
