Breakdown

Let’s break down each question into smaller bite size chunks. The first question is what are 5 ways to declutter a craft room? According to www.au.reachout.com they advise using these solutions to declutter your mind. A few of the ideas could be applied to decluttering the craft room. So lets take a look at the first few.

• Identify the Problem. (Where do we have the clutter)

• Write it down. (What is the clutter?)

Adding a few of my own here.

• Decide what to keep or not to keep (Here we can write down what to donate or give away).

• Group the same items together in one area.

• Add storage solutions.

• Schedule. (Decide when to declutter, the amount of time to devote to declutter, when to donate or give away unwanted items.)

Overwhelm

If you find that you get overwhelmed by the amount of clutter this is a time to take things a bit slower and divide the room into sections.

For example: * Write down: Section A – E, : (Section A has this…. books, tape, paper, etc.)

By writing down each section and the contents of each section you’ll be more prepared to tackle the section. If you feel that you are still getting overwhelmed. Divide the room even smaller sections up to the point your comfortable to do that particular section with ease.

Tackle

To begin to tackle the declutter. Its recommended to start with the worst section first. Don’t forget to take a before photo (for later). Taking a photo also is helpful to look at when your working on other stuff to help make a plan of what to keep or not keep. When decluttering group items together. This is extra storage bins can come in handy when sorting out stuff or grouping things together.

Schedule

Scheduling when to declutter helps to keep time to a minimum and prevents from over working to the point of being overwhelmed. Depending on the size of the declutter it’s recommended to only work on it a little each day. For example: Date: 8/10 /2021 Declutter, Time: 20 min. Next week: Date: ?/?/?, Time: 20 min., etc. Until the project is completed. Don’t get discouraged just keep going.

Unrelated Items

For things that are unrelated to the craft room but your not ready to get rid or can’t get rid of. Can they be stored in a separate container or tub? Can they be stored somewhere else? Do you need a written plan or schedule to move them as well? If so proceed just like above, just a different subject.

Time

What’s the length of time that you had the items in your craft room? Is it new or is it year’s? Another words if it’s something new then it’s still relatively on the market to get more of. If its month’s or year’s then the probability to replace the item or get more of it decreases. In some cases completely obsolete. Its the obsolete items that is the issue here. If its obsolete then the question should be, should we keep it or let it go? The old saying comes to mind, “we can’t keep everything’. If we kept everything then our space or spaces would have no room for the new.

Reoccurrence

How often would you declutter your craft room? Perhaps every 6 months is a good start. If need be maybe every year. It depends on how you feel and how often your space gets cluttered. Some of us may need to declutter more often than others. Meaning: twice a month or just four times a year. No one can really answer this question better than yourself.

The rest of the house

Can the same tactics be used for the rest of the home? Absolutely! However, it’s recommended to do each room separately and divide. It’s not recommended to try to do it all at once.

Emotions

How does clutter of the craft room effect your mood? Clutter can stifle creativity in some people while clutter can benefit others. Meaning a little clutter can encourage by giving one something visual to spark an idea. You may be a person that feels debilitated all together over clutter. Another words, have zero tolerance for clutter.
