The road to a perfect, clutter-free home doesn't have to start and end in one weekend.

Instead, adopt the Sort by Season method! Divide your home into four categories, then you can spend a whole season of the year sprucing up that one area rather than cramming it all into your coveted day off. Try getting that kitchen into tip-top shape every summer. Then when fall rolls around, open your closets and go through all that unworn clothing.

But what do you do with all that stuff after you're done? Author Ally Deatherage teaches on donating and discarding without guilt. She offers a sigh of relief to those who don't know how to get rid of horrendous unwanted gifts. (You know the ones.)

Complete with handy checklists and free printables, Sort by Season boils decluttering down to the simple question: "Do I need or want this?" Whether you're a maximalist or a minimalist, you'll find purging your home to be easy, painless, and, believe it or not, fun!

Start your lifelong decluttering habit today.
