Sometimes a little \u201csoft decluttering\u201d is all it takes.<\/p>\n

Tara Bremer, a professional home organizer in Birmingham, Ala., stays in business because of big messes \u2014 cluttered kitchens, garages with no room for cars. But tiny projects sometimes get the best reactions. She recently tamed a teenager\u2019s overflowing perfume collection, as part of a larger bedroom reorganization. The girl and her mother \u201ckept coming back and looking at the under-sink area,\u201d she said. \u201cThey were so happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

This type of mini-overhaul may be enough to give many of us what we seek when we think about organizing: a mental load lightened, a before-and-after to relish. \u201cSometimes you need a small measure of control in a world that feels chaotic,\u201d Ms. Bremer said. \u201cIf it\u2019s one junk drawer, be the boss of the junk drawer.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s tempting, of course, to turn this type of manageable task into an existential undertaking. \u201cInstead of thinking, I\u2019m going to spend an hour this week on paperwork, it becomes, I\u2019m going to be an organized person,\u201d said Stephanie Preston, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan. She emphasized that for some people, \u201crage cleaning\u201d every room over a long weekend works. Certain personalities are wired for that kind of stimulation, in the same way that some people like the cold-turkey challenge of Dry January<\/a> to jump-start healthier drinking habits.<\/p>\n

But what if you crave a softer, Damp January<\/a> approach to decluttering? There is satisfaction in small projects, whether it\u2019s clearing a dining room table so you can host a dinner party or sorting through toys just enough to make the room easier to vacuum. Here\u2019s how to start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
