WITH 5:2 lifestyle: live healthy happy and successful..

WORK CLUTTER

If your house is disorganized, it makes your life feel the same.But trying to declutter in one go is daunting. So do it the 5:2 way in short bursts on your two days.Set a timer for 20 minutes. Pick your least favorite room to spend time in and try to see it through fresh eyes, as though you've never been there before.Think about how the room looks, smells and works. Is it too cold, too hot, too cluttered? What looks right and what looks wrong?

List the problems one by one -- is the room airless or draughty? Is it the family dumping ground? Do you use everything in the room?Now list a solution to each problem. For example, for clutter, ask yourself if you could sell it on eBay. If you can't, put it in a bag and leave in a cupboard. Set a date to open the bag again and take it all to a charity shop if you haven't missed it. Apply the checklist approach to a different room whenever you have 20 minutes.
