20 Crazy Fast Ways to Declutter your Home when you Have No Time

This may sound a little crazy, but Dave Ramsey helps me keep my house clean…

If you didn’t already know Dave Ramsey, is a personal finance guru who has helped thousands of people (including me) become debt free.

One of the reasons that I love Dave Ramsey is because he shares personal finance tips that really work.

One of the strategies that he is best known for is something called the “Debt Snowball”.

The idea is that you start your debt free journey by paying off your smallest debt first.

The reason he suggests this method is simple: It’s not about the math it’s about behavior modification.

What does that mean?

Well, when you start with the smallest debt you are going to make progress quickly.

Progress increases your motivation and makes it easier to tackle more difficult tasks.

You don’t start with the biggest debt because it would take FOREVER to see progress. In fact, you might feel so overwhelmed by the task at hand that you avoid getting started.

Sound familiar? That’s because many of us feel the same way about the clutter in our homes.

There is simply so much to deal with, that we don’t ever get started.

But what if I told you that all you need is 5 mintues to start to become clutter free?
