The Last Thing You Should Always Do After Decluttering
Apartment Therapy’s Decluttering Cure is a free two-week decluttering program that’ll help you achieve a tidier home. Sign up here and get all 14 assignments delivered to your inbox.
When you’re done decluttering your home, you’ll have to throw out trash, donate items, and reorganize your space. But the very final step in the process is by far the most important. When you’re truly done decluttering, you’ll want to celebrate all the hard work you’ve done. Here’s why.
Day 14: Celebrate your decluttering wins.
Congratulations on completing Apartment Therapy’s Decluttering Cure! You’ve done so much in two weeks, from decluttering room by room to implementing systems to prevent clutter from happening in the future. And whether you’ve just done one task or all 14, you should be proud of the fact that your home is tidier and more organized than before.
Your final assignment is simple: Celebrate your decluttering wins! Today, you’ll enjoy your decluttered home to the fullest. After all, you should celebrate every little thing you’re able to do to make your space one that you love.
You can choose to sit back and relax in all your hard work, or expand your celebration by inviting a friend over for lunch or hosting a gathering at your place. It’s all up to you — we just hope you feel good about all the decluttering you’ve got done in just 14 days.
