Declutter by Category: The Reset Method That Actually Works

Spring is the ideal time to refresh your home, but the idea of a full clean-out can feel overwhelming. Most people default to tackling one room at a time—until halfway through, the clutter just shifts from place to place. That’s where a category-based method comes in: it’s more focused, less chaotic, and actually works.

Rather than going room by room, this approach breaks the task down by item type—papers, clothing, cleaning supplies, and so on. It gives you a clear sense of progress without needing to upend the whole house. And when done in small, weekly steps, it becomes easier to manage and stick with.

This reset is about creating calm without the chaos.

Why Decluttering by Category Works Better Than Room by Room

When you clear a single room, you often end up moving clutter into another. A hallway gets tidier, but now the guest room’s full of old coats. Sorting by category avoids this cycle—it means dealing with all your paperwork at once, no matter where it’s hiding.

It also stops the sense of false progress. Tidying the kitchen might look productive, but if junk drawers are stuffed or surfaces just look clearer without being cleared, the clutter’s still there. Focusing on one type of item removes it from your home entirely, not just from view.

This method also makes decisions simpler. Looking at five similar items in five different rooms makes it hard to notice duplicates. But lining them all up lets you see exactly what you have, what you need, and what can go.

The Three Most Overlooked Clutter Categories

Paperwork builds up quietly. It hides in drawers, under beds, in bags from the post office, or tucked in old folders “just in case.” Receipts, manuals, letters, expired vouchers—they add up. Start by gathering every piece of paper in your home and putting it in one place. Sort into shred, recycle, and keep. Anything you need to file, file. Everything else? Let it go.

Clothing often hangs around far longer than it needs to. Off-season coats, shoes that no longer fit, items you haven’t worn in years—they all take up space and mental energy. Pull everything out of wardrobes, drawers, boxes, and baskets. Try on, test zips, check condition. If you wouldn’t wear it tomorrow, consider donating it or recycling.

Cleaning products are rarely decluttered but often multiply without notice. Half-used sprays, expired bottles under the sink, dried-up wipes—all of them contribute to clutter and potential mess. Group all cleaning products together and check expiry dates. Anything with no label, odd smell, or damage should go. Keep only what works and what you actually use.

How to Make the Reset Stick

The trick is to avoid trying to do it all at once. Decluttering works best in short, focused sessions. This method splits the work into weekly goals, so you’re not staring down a whole house full of tasks at once.

It also helps to set a clear finish point for each category. That might be dropping donations off by Saturday, recycling shredded paper immediately, or using up half-empty bottles before buying more. These small goals keep the momentum going.

Storing less means storing smarter. When you only keep what’s needed, storage becomes easier. The paper fits in one folder. Clothes hang neatly. Cleaning supplies sit on a single shelf, not scattered in every cupboard.

This isn’t about creating a show-home. It’s about knowing what you have, using what you need, and freeing up space that works for how you live now.

Weekly Printable Checklist for a Category-Based Spring Declutter

Week 1: Paperwork Reset

Gather papers from every room: mail, receipts, magazines, notebooks.

Shred anything with sensitive info you don’t need.

Recycle old receipts, junk mail, and expired documents.

File or scan important paperwork into labelled folders.

Week 2: Clothing Clear-Out

Pull out all clothes—drawers, wardrobes, storage boxes, laundry piles.

Try on anything you haven’t worn recently.

Sort into keep, donate, repair, or recycle.

Wipe down wardrobes and re-fold them neatly.

Week 3: Cleaning Supply Streamline

Empty cupboards, baskets, storage under sinks.

Check expiry dates and test items for effectiveness.

Dispose of unused, empty, or broken containers responsibly.

Group similar items and store them in clear, accessible zones.

Week 4: Bonus Round – Whatever Needs It Most

Choose your biggest pain point: tools, books, toiletries, kitchen drawers.

Set a 30-minute timer and start sorting.

Keep only what you use, enjoy, or need.

Donate or dispose of anything broken, duplicated, or outdated.

FAQs

Why is it better to declutter by category instead of room?

It helps you see everything at once, avoid duplicates, and stay consistent in decision-making. That way, you're not just shifting clutter from one spot to another.

What if I don’t have time to do a full category in a week?

Do what you can. Even ten minutes a day adds up. The idea is to make consistent progress, not create extra pressure.

How do I keep the clutter from coming back?

Set limits. If something new comes in, something else goes out. Revisit each category every few months with a quick check-in to reset.

[HIGHLIGHT] 8 minutes of Peterpan Tadsapon sharing in English about Reset The Series

Notable points from the live

Pan describes Thada as an ideal gentleman character, has some "oppa" archetypes and some of Mr Grey from 50 Shades of Grey archetypes. Pan did a lot of homework and research to keep his composure for Reset because the character Thada is supposed to be 40 but he only turned 26 last year.

Pan had to do his own stunts for Reset but for some action scenes Pond has a stunt double so they'll do takes with both people for those scenes.

Pan expressed his gratitude to the lakorn fans who are also planning to watch his BL series Reset, acknowledging that he knows usually lakorn audience often wouldn't often transfer to watching BL series 🥺. (and this is why i'll always support lakorn actors who step out of their comfort zones to step into queer roles or QL series. seems like a generalisation but it's just fact that it's definitely harder to convince lakorn audience to watch BL series as opposed to convincing BL audience to watch lakorns)

Pan shares his experience playing Prasit, a character with autism spectrum disorder in My Cherie Amour. He did his research as well as studied from series like The Good Doctor, Forrest Gump, It's okay not to be okay, about how to get the physicality of Prasit to be as natural as possible, that this role is one of his bucket list as an actor and that he's open to playing more roles like Prasit to showcase characters on the autism spectrum.

Pan thanks Tor and Yaya because he learned from them during My Cherie Amour is that you always have to be "present" as your character on set, regardless of how tired he might be, that when you're a main cast member, you're on set most of the time, and you have to manage that responsibility. Even if you are tired, your character doesn't know that, so you must stay focused and alive in the character. This really helped him during Reset filming.

Pan says the chemistry was there during filming and that there are quite a lot of moments like the 'slap kiss' acting scene in the Pilot trailer, the director gave Pan and Pond a lot of directions but also freedom to explore their characters and improvise (i'm just gonna keep my expectations as low as possible knowing the director is A Natthaphong who did Gap, The Sign and My Marvellous Dream Is You but hopefully iQIYI and Broadcast Thai TV producers know what they want and the vision comes through).

Reset is expected to be released around the middle of the year, but the exact date is not yet confirmed (him backtracking when he literally spoiled the release month earlier that day 😭🤣).

Pan doesn't know exactly when Reset fanmeeting is gonna happen but there definitely will be one.

Finally, Pan asks that fans be vocal, tagging the official Reset account and tell them that fans want to watch first EP, last EP, have event, have fanmeeting... to make them happen.

Day 2: Timeloop / Xiao Qi and Jiu Ge

Connected Timelines Ramble: Backing off my previous 'Geno has an ex' headcanon, what if Dust happened to be that ex? I can see them bonding over shared trauma: surviving a genocided timeline and losing their brothers.

So when Dust eventually came clean about his past, that he genocided his own timeline [and others under Nightmare], even if he felt guilty and wanted to change, the heartbreak and betrayal Geno would have felt was devastating.

Even if it was originally done to stop Chara, the fact that he continued to genocide other timelines was despicable in Geno's eyes. Dust became the very same person he hated, and all Geno could see when looking at Dust was her. He broke it off instantly and Dust respected his decision and never contacted him again.

Given that Nightmare and Dream have now been at peace for decades, they're often invited to the same get togethers. They've never told anyone else about their previous relationship, so they act all awkward around each other and nobody knows why.

“Wait. No please wait.”

No im not listening

I know this dream of life is neverending

What’s future? What’s history?

It goes around

What’s happened will be and repeat.

And round

Now I know thy nature of no urgency.

And round again

Sickly, cyclic, cynicistic shrills.

You know the sun is rising

Flitting in this mode of making memories.

While decending

Keeping up this pace of keeping still.

It goes on and on and never ends.

lost my 3ds stylus. tore apart my bedding and sheets. went to the living room to check around where i sit. walked around the kitchen counter to see if i just didn't pick it back up. rooted through the kitchen trash. went back to my room. REALLY tore up the bed, pulling it away from the wall if it fell behind. crawled around the floor to see if it rolled under. COMPLETELY rooted through my trash. sighed. decided i could continue the search tomorrow. looked down.

it was on the floor at the corner of the foot of the bed, right where i'd been on my hands and knees 10mins earlier.

i just... wanted to play a little pkmn before eeping... why are all styluses of all kinds LIKE THIS????? ugh.
