Streamlining Blitz: Discard 100 items in under an hour's time
In today's fast-paced world, clutter can quickly accumulate in our homes, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and disorganised. However, decluttering doesn't have to be a daunting task. By taking small, intentional steps, you can transform your living space and regain control. Here are some tips for decluttering various areas of your home.
The Closet
Your closet is a treasure trove of items that may be taking up valuable space. Consider decluttering your closet by getting rid of clothes that don't fit, shoes that give you blisters, anything with a price tag on it, and things you don't like to wear. If you're looking for a structured approach, Project 333 is a popular method that challenges you to choose 33 items of clothing to wear for three months, helping you to simplify your wardrobe and end closet chaos.
The Kids' Room
Decluttering your children's room can be a rewarding experience. Encourage your children to fill a box with items they'd like to donate to children who have much less than they do. This not only helps declutter their room but also teaches them the importance of generosity and gratitude.
The Garage, Attic, and Storage Shed
Items in boxes that you don't use, miss, or remember are prime candidates for decluttering from your storage spaces. Be mindful of things you are saving "just in case" and aspirational items - get rid of things you bought for a life you thought you wanted but don't have.
The Office or Arts/Crafts/Hobby Room
Anything you aren't using that is taking up the space you need to create has been suggested for decluttering from these rooms. This could include extra furniture, decorative items you don't enjoy, and linens, towels, sheets, blankets, coats you never wear, accessories you haven't seen in forever, extra hats, scarves, and gloves stuffed in a basket.
The Computer
Decluttering your computer can also be beneficial. Documents, printables, and downloads you haven't opened (ever) are items to consider for decluttering. Blurry and duplicate photos, junk email like sales offers or newsletters you never read, and old laundry soap and other products you never use are also worth decluttering.
The Bedroom or Living Room
Extra books, nightstand clutter, and extra furniture can all contribute to a cluttered living space. Consider decluttering these items to create a more peaceful and organised environment.
