As was clear from many Six on Saturday posts this weekend, spring is very much on its way in the UK and some other northern hemisphere gardens, so spotting signs of it is a doddle, with spring bulbs very much to the fore. It was only after I snipped the contents for today’s vase that I remembered my intention to pick some of the double Narcissus ‘Tête Boucle’ from the baskets usually hanging at the front of the house, but removed to allow installation of external installation (delayed numerous times, unsurprisingly due to the weather) and now languishing largely unseen at the side of the property instead. Perhaps they will still look as good next week?

“The less you have, the less you have to clean up and find a home for. As you declutter, it will be easier to create and maintain systems,” Jen Martin, founder and CEO of Reset Your Nest, says.
She recommends clearing out anything that hasn’t been used in the past year before starting the deep clean. Meg Gallagher, a home decor and design influencer, agrees.
“Many people underestimate the importance of decluttering before diving into the cleaning process," Gallagher says. «Neglecting this step can lead to holding onto unnecessary items, hindering the overall effectiveness of spring cleaning.»
Make a mental or written punch list of sorts to avoid overlooking a room or specific task. Gallagher takes the time to assess her home, creates a detailed list of areas that require attention, and prioritizes the order.
“It serves as a visual guide that helps me consolidate my thoughts, helps me stay organized, and ensures that no nook or cranny is overlooked during the cleaning process," Gallagher says.
Martin recommends making sure the last 5% is completed before moving on to the next task. «Done is better than perfect and one task done is better than three started,» Martin says.
