The ‘5 Things’ Method Is the Cleaning Trend That Might (Finally!)

Change Your Messy Ways Forever Article courtesy of Realtor.com

Spring has officially sprung, along with edicts proclaiming it’s time to get out in the sun—and then clean your house from top to bottom. Um, who decided that?

Alas, many people, it seems. Spring is a time of renewal, prompting people to swap winter’s stagnation for the promise of a new season—by way of cleaning supplies.

We support people’s desire to mop to their hearts’ content. But if tearing the whole house apart to clean every nook and cranny seems overwhelming right now, we get it. Why not start on a small scale, and get rid of the clutter that inevitably builds up over the winter months? And yes—there’s a term for it!

What is a ‘doom room’?

There are times when the stuff we own threatens to overwhelm us—and now that junk

has a name.

“Doom piles” and “depression rooms” are buzzy terms that seem to be everywhere suddenly, thanks to mountains of TikTok videos. The monikers describe heaps of junk you’ve swept into a bag or box (or onto the floor) to clear some much-needed space. And the truth is, even organizing pros have these in their homes.

“I often have small areas that are cluttered— like my bag or car or another spot I let build up,” admits Katie McCann, the organizing pro at Haven.

In fact, Lisa Davis, a shopping expert at RetailMeNot, says having a doom pile or two might relieve some personal pressure.

“Most people already have so much on their plate without the extra stress of a perfectlooking home, so if there needs to be a dedicated crap room, then so be it,” she

declares.

The ‘5 Things’ Method Is the Cleaning Trend That Might (Finally!)

Change Your Messy Ways Forever Article courtesy of Realtor.com

Addressing the piles, however, is the next hurdle—and it’s one many of us just plain ignore. To help, we’ve got the scoop on a new organizing method in town. We’re talking about “five things tidying,” and it’s a snap to try. Read on for tips on a low-pressure way to get your rooms in order this spring.

What is the ‘five things’ method?

The principle behind the method is simple: There is only a small handful of items to pick up or organize in any one space at a time (five, to be exact).

The beauty of this cleaning approach is that it breaks down your mess into simple categories, giving you the chance to tackle just a couple of issues if that’s all the time and energy you can muster.

These five things include dishes (abandoned coffee cups, snack bowls), trash (old tissues, junk mail, empty soda cans), and laundry— whether clean but unfolded, or dirty and strewn about. The last two categories are things that have a place and things that do not.

“When you’re dealing with accumulated mess, it’s easier to break it up into small bites,” points out Charlotte Granville, a remodeling specialist with Fixr.

After identifying your five things, it’s time to decide which to attack. And no, you don’t have to clean up all five—it’s even okay to just stop at identifying the piles, if this is all you can manage.

“You could even theme your days with this technique so that when Monday rolls around, you’re only focused on, say, clothing,” notes McCann. “And then the other categories don’t need to be worried about until their day pops up.”

So, if you address one or two of the categories in a day, it’s a big win. You might start with the trash or the dishes, as these tend to be the easiest ones.

For the garbage category, grab a bag and stuff it with what you’ve gathered, then take out the trash right then.

Meanwhile, if your dishes have old food bits stuck on them, run them under warm, soapy water and load as many as you can into the dishwasher.

Things with and without a place

Things that have a place are, as it might seem, easier to understand.

Cleaning up the five

For example, shoes piled up by the door belong in that basket on the coat closet floor. Books that someone pulled from the bookcase should go right back on the shelves (don’t worry about the order!).

The ‘5 Things’ Method Is the Cleaning Trend That Might (Finally!)

Change Your Messy Ways Forever Article courtesy of Realtor.com

As for the things that do not have a place, this grouping is what most of us will call junk or clutter. It’s the broken toy sitting under the coffee table or the outgrown sweatshirt hanging on the stair railing. These things are waiting to be donated, reused, or recycled.

Organizing during spring helps

Managing your daily (or weekly) clutter is a worthy goal; but sometimes, it makes sense to tie your efforts to a more significant life event, McCann says

“A great time to declutter is when you’re going through a transition, such as a move, the change of seasons, having a baby, or getting married,” she explains.

This way, you clean up because your needs have changed, and “you might feel more comfortable changing your surroundings too.”

Go at your own pace

Davis recommends starting small and setting achievable goals.

“This might mean doing just one thing a day, like dusting the TV, sorting clothes to donate, or sweeping out the garage,” she says.

And by week’s end, you’ll have accomplished more than you think. The bottom line is to keep your objective (cleaning up!) in sight and not feel too much pressure. You don’t want to get overwhelmed and abandon the whole project.

I've been in the real estate business for two years. My clients are always surprised at how much I know about their homes and neighborhood. I serve all the Metro-East markets and enjoy helping my clients pursue their dreams of home ownership and selling their homes.

Since I was little, I've always been obsessed with houses, so real estate was always at the back of my mind. After my daughter was old enough to start school, I finally turned my dream into a realty reality.

I'm a huge believer that buying or selling your home is an emotional process—and it's important to me that my clients feel comfortable with me as we go through this together. I adore working with people from all different backgrounds and personality types. I can mesh well with just about anyone. I want them to feel like they're getting the best possible service from someone who knows the market inside and out, cares deeply about helping them find their dream home or sell theirs for top dollar and will be there for them every step of the way. Clients describe me as hardworking, attentive, caring and funny.

I love spending time with my family when I'm not working on real estate deals. My husband and I have been married for 12 years. We have a 7-year-old daughter and a Pitbull, Josie.

With family going back four generations in Belleville, Smithton area, I know the Metro East from St. Clair to Madison and Monroe counties like the back of my hand and help clients in every one of those areas. I went to high school here and graduated from SIUE before meeting my wife and moving away.

My favorite part of real estate is educating first-time home buyers, catching up with repeat clients and assisting those downsizing. I explain topics in an easily digestible manner so that my clients can make informed decisions.

My experience in insurance sparked my interest in real estate as I was intrigued by the valuation process when building insurance quotes for people. I am still fascinated with valuations and have completed a certification class to become a licensed Real Estate Appraiser. Although, I will continue to work as a Realtor because I love working with people. I never meet a stranger and look forward to making new relationships through real estate.

I cherish the relationship that I have with my wife above all else. For the last 20+ years, her career has taken us on a journey across the US. This experience helps me understand the nuances and stressors of moving into a new house and relocating to a new community. With her retirement, we have recently moved back and plan to stay here. One of the things I love, in addition to the true Midwestern mentality, is the small community gatherings, picnics, and community involvement that I haven’t seen anywhere else.

Starting a real estate career in 1981 with interest rates at 18% was to say the least, a challenge! There have been a lot of challenges, but more rewards since then and I am so glad I made the commitment to become a REALTOR! Over the years I’ve helped hundreds of buyers and sellers make their real estate dreams come true!

Technology has made the process easier, but it is the personal interactions that are most rewarding.

I was the managing broker of the Highland office from 1986 to 1995! I also served as president of the Greater Gateway Association of Realtors. In 2021 was inducted in to the Greater Gateway Hall of Fame and earned the Luxury Home Specialist designation. Continuing to learn and grow in this business is a priority to me.

I’m a lifelong resident of Highland and feel the metro east region offers many great places to call home! My husband, Steve Lindsey and I have 4 grown children, my two sons, his two daughter and together we have 8 grandchildren. We enjoy activities with them, Cardinal baseball, Jimmy Buffett music and beach vacations.

Serving St. Clair, Madison, and Clinton counties, I work where I live and play. With 47 years of experience in real estate, I have seen it all. I use my experience to create smooth transactions for buyers and sellers.

My entrance into real estate was serendipitous as the macrame class I originally wanted was full. Although, I quickly decided that helping people turn the page on a chapter in their life would be fulfilling. Sitting at the closing table, knowing that the transaction was trouble-free, and seeing my clients' excitement is still my favorite part of the day.

I have been fortunate to have a large family with five kids, 13 grandkids, and six great-grandkids. When I'm not spending time with them, you can find me working out, cycling, walking, reading or cooking.

As an experienced realtor serving the entire Metro East, it would be honor to help you buy or sell your home.

As a homeowner myself, I know that buying and selling a home can be very stressful. But my mission is to bring my years of sales experience to help calmly walk homeowners through the process and deliver results.

I also have a vested interest in our community. Raising my daughter with my wife in Waterloo, I have a passion for helping other families make sure they find a place that truly feels like home. I have especially deep expertise serving Madison, St. Clair and Monroe counties.

My clients know I have their back and I strive to be their anchor during the storms that may brew during the process of buying and selling a home. I’d love to be that partner for you as well.

Please reach out if I can help you with any of your real estate needs.

With 45 years of experience as a licensed Realtor and 50+ years of experience in real estate, I still get excited to meet new clients. Even though I accidentally fell into real estate by helping my late husband, I couldn't imagine a better way to make a living.

As a real estate agent of 10 years, I truly enjoy helping clients buy or sell properties. Whether you’re a first-time home buyer or a seasoned seller looking to down-size, my knowledge of the metro-east area and thorough understanding of the real estate market provides my clients with the best opportunity to achieve their real estate goals and dreams.

As a top multi-million dollar producer many times over in the Coldwell Banker Brown Belleville office, I’ve consistently demonstrated the ability to deliver superior real estate results to my clients over the years. I also take tremendous pride in staying in contact with my clients; my duties do not stop at the closing desk. Whether you’re interested in the current real estate conditions or you need tips for maintaining your home for future real estate plans, I’m at your service. I’d like to think of my interaction with my clients as more of an on-going professional relationship rather than a service.

Outside of work, I love golfing and spending time with my family. Between my husband Marty and I, we have

If they gave awards for listening well, I might win. The best way to meet the needs of each client is to listen to what they want. After getting to know my clients and their wishes, I complete their purchase/sale with respect, courtesy and genuine care. I pride myself on detail.

After graduating from the University of Kansas, my first career was nursing. The care and concern I showed my patients are the same care and concern I show my clients, which has led to my success in real estate. My clients describe me as fair, accessible and enthusiastic.

As a mother of two and a grandmother of four, I have called the Riverbend area home since 1987. I am proud to be an active member of the Alton community. I taught Sunday school for years. I have belonged to a variety of civic organizations. My passion for service has always been the Alton School District. I have served as president of both the band and athletic booster clubs, before being elected to the school board. Community service has brought so many wonderful people into my life. I love the Riverbend area and the quality of life here.
