First Decluttering Challenge
It’s almost the weekend, hallelujah!
For a first decluttering challenge, let’s do something fun. I want you to find a small drawer or bin where things get shoved. For me this is the junk drawer. don’t got for something too time consuming or daunting. The point of this is to be quick and easy.
What drawer are you going to clean out? What missing item did you find? How long did it take you?
Start by emptying everything out of the drawer.
Throw away anything trash or broken. (Are you really going to fix it? How long has it been broken for? Did you already buy a new one? When was the last time you needed it?)
Now take anything that’s in the wrong space and put it where it makes the most sense. (If you were looking for this thing in the future, where would you first look for it?)
Vacuum and wipe out the drawer so it’s nice and clean.
If you have a divider or organizer you can use in this drawer, time to put it in there.
Time to put stuff away. Don’t just shove items in there. If you place them so you can see everything, it will make it more likely that you will keep it organized.
