hang on to 抓紧；保留

你是否感到被太多的事情拖住了？你家客厅是否堆积了很多故事书和小饰品？许多人对自己拥有的大量东西不知所措。但一切本来并非如此。你只要稍微安排和计划一下，比如做个春季大扫除，便可以创造一个更有条理、没有压力的空间。

1.尽早开始

如果你等到周末才开始，你的整理不会有太大的改善。最佳开始时间是什么时候？就是现在。留给自己整理的时间越多，你的整理效果就会越彻底。

2.扔掉或捐赠不需要的东西

整理是每隔一段时间就要进行的重要过程，特别是当你有很多不需要或不用的东西时。整理不仅能让你的家看起来更整洁，还能帮助你摆脱任何可能残留的负能量。你可以把你不想要或不再需要的东西捐赠出去，这样整理的过程就会容易一些。

3.一次清理一个房间

当你整理你的家时，一次整理一个房间是很重要的，这将帮助你保持专注和有条理。从你使用最多或最需要关注的房间开始。如果你有很多杂乱的地方，那就从书桌或者壁橱这种小一点的地方开始。你可以把任务分解成更小的目标，花点时间确保每个区域整洁有序。

4.贴标签

整理的关键是把同类的东西放在一起，并且给盒子贴好标签。在盒子上写下它需放在你家的哪个房间和盒子里装的是什么类型的物品。是的，这需要一些额外的时间来完成。可一旦你的物品被重新安置到了新的空间，你会非常感激你所做的一切。贴标签可以帮助你找到需要的物品。

5.你不必现在就决定一切

春季大扫除是处理那些你不喜欢或不再需要的物品的强大动力。有时在处理学业的同时，还要试图整理每一件小物品，这可能会让你感觉要做的事太多了。不要对每一件小事想太多。如果你不确定某样物品是否有用，但你又真的喜欢它，你可以留着它。过度整理可能导致你下一个季节不得不买更多的东西，这也不是你想要的。
