Decide how many you really need and toss the ones that are the most worn. Old Cleaning Rags – They’re rags for a reason but even rags need to be tossed at some point. This is also a good time to take note of supplies that need to be replenished. Of course those can get cluttered too, so go through them drawer by drawer and toss, shred, or move anything that doesn’t belong. Everything else goes in a drawer or on a shelf. I try to keep very little on my desk top: laptop, printer, planner, and pencil cup. Start with the desk top and clear off everything that doesn’t belong.

It might take a while depending on how big your desk is and how long it’s been since you’ve cleaned it out. It’s as simple as that.ĭesk – Set aside a little time for this task. First things first, decide if you really want it or will use it and don’t take it if you won’t.

I usually always have 2 extra storage totes just in case though.įree Promotional Items – Why are we so attracted to free things whether we need them or not? I think we grab them because we think it’s clever or we might use it or someone just handed it to us and we felt obligated to take it. It’s a good way to get rid of totes and them still be useful. As I declutter I like to use the extra totes as boxes for donations. Who would have thought organizing supplies could be clutter but they can be. Storage Totes and Bins – Since we’ve been decluttering for several months now you probably have extra storage totes. Make a list of things you need to make this space function then remove everything else. Since this area can tend to get cluttered it’s important to have a place for everything.

You will also need a place for small things like keys and mail. A good storage unit whether it’s a cabinet or a bench with baskets should be able to hold everything you need.

Too much stuff can be overwhelming but leaving some empty space can make it feel more restful and inviting.Įntryway – The entryway is and should be a place to put things as you enter or leave the house, but that doesn’t mean it has to look cluttered and disorganized. Wall Decor – You would be surprised how much more comfortable your home can feel with just removing a few pieces of wall decor. You can also use decorative boxes to hide necessary things that aren’t very pretty. Don’t put anything back on the shelves unless you need it there or you really love it. What else do you have on your bookcases that need to be cleared out? I suggest taking everything off the shelves besides the books you’ve already decluttered. I know some people use their planners as a journal so if that’s the case store them all together in a small lidded tote.īookcases – We decluttered books a few months ago but didn’t touch on the bookcases themselves. Old Calendars and Planners – I like to transfer important information from my old planner to my new one: birthdays, phone numbers, addresses, passwords, etc. What better way to start the new year than to reclaim your space. This is the 7th month of the challenge so whether it’s your first time joining or your seventh I hope this helps you clear the clutter from your life. I’ll have them linked at the bottom of this post.

If you miss any of the challenges you can always go back and do them at any time. The best thing about this challenge is that we’re all working together for the end goal of ridding the clutter out of our lives. At the beginning of every month I post suggested items for you to declutter from your home.
