Day 1:
Start with the easy stuff. Remove any clothing you haven’t worn in a year, books you’ve read and don’t need to keep, and knick-knacks that are just taking up space. It would be best if you also took this opportunity to dust and vacuum all of the surfaces in your home.
Starting with smaller, simpler tasks can be helpful when you’re feeling overburdened by the clutter in your home. For example, start by decluttering your coffee table or desk. This will help you to clear your mind and give you a sense of accomplishment. Once you’ve tackled those small areas, you can move on to bigger projects, like decluttering your closet or garage. By taking it one step at a time, you’ll be able to declutter your home without feeling overwhelmed.
Day 2:
Now it’s time to tackle the closets. Sort through your wardrobe and eliminate anything you haven’t worn in a year or that doesn’t fit. Anything that is still in good condition should be given to a nearby charity. If you have items too worn to donate, throw them away.
Most people have way too much stuff, such as clothes that haven’t been worn in years, books that haven’t been read in even longer, and an endless supply of knick-knacks and tchotchkes that serve no real purpose. It is understandable why so many people experience stress and are overwhelmed in their homes. The good news is that decluttering your home can be easy and enjoyable if you take it one step at a time. Going through your closets is a great place to start. Pull out everything you no longer wear or don’t fit, and set it aside to donate or sell. The amount of room you’ll free up and how satisfying it is to clear out all that clutter might surprise you.
Moreover, going through your closets is a great way to jumpstart the decluttering process. Once you see how satisfying it is to declutter your home, you’ll be motivated to keep going until your entire house is clean and organized. So don’t wait any longer – start decluttering today by sorting through your closet!
Day 3:
Today is the day to declutter your bathroom. Get rid of expired makeup, toiletries, old towels, and unused products. If you have duplicates of anything, keep one and get rid of the rest.
Most people don’t think twice about the dozens, even hundreds, of little bottles, tubes, and containers of lotions, potions, and other products they keep in their bathroom. However, all those products can quickly add to a lot of clutter. Going through your bathroom and decluttering it regularly can help keep your home organized and tidy. Take everything out of the cabinets and drawers to begin by going through it all. Throw away anything that is expired or that you no longer use. Then, put everything else back in a more organized way. For example, put all your hair products in one drawer and all your skincare items in another. Taking the time to declutter your bathroom will help to reduce the overall amount of clutter in your home.
Day 4:
It’s time to declutter your kitchen. Get rid of expired food, spices you never use, and appliances you never use. Donate any non-expired food to a local food bank.
Going through your kitchen products can help you to declutter your home in several ways. One, it can help you eliminate any products past their expiration date or that you no longer use. Second, it can help you to consolidate duplicates or similar items. And finally, it can help you organize your kitchen to be more functional and efficient. So next time you’re feeling overwhelmed by the clutter in your home, start by going through your kitchen products. You might be surprised at how much simpler it is to organize your home when you start in the kitchen.
