The holiday season is a time for celebration, but it can also leave behind clutter or items that haven’t been used all year. As the New Year approaches, decluttering this clutter can bring a sense of renewal and help you feel more organized. Here’s a simple guide to help you get started with decluttering.
Simple Guide to Decluttering
Begin with Everyday Spaces
Start by focusing on areas you use every day. These spaces easily collect clutter without notice. Clean out your pantry by discarding expired food and items you no longer need. In the bathroom, toss expired beauty products and half-used shampoos. Spend 15 minutes on your junk drawer to keep only what’s necessary. Don’t forget your wardrobe—donate clothes that no longer fit or haven’t been worn in years.
Focus on Key Trouble Zones
Focus on decluttering your paperwork—go through old bills, receipts, and junk mail. Store important documents and recycle the rest. Next, move on to decluttering your closet by reviewing accessories like scarves, hats, gloves, and shoes. Donate anything you no longer wear or need. Continue decluttering by getting rid of broken items or those that no longer bring you joy
Out-of-sight spaces can become overstuffed without us realizing. Clean out the space under your sink, removing old sponges and forgotten cleaning supplies. Refresh your linen closet by donating worn-out towels and bedding—animal shelters often accept these. Spend time sorting your garage or storage areas, organizing tools, sports equipment, and seasonal items. Before new toys arrive, encourage kids to donate the ones they’ve outgrown.
Add the Finishing Touches
Once the larger spaces are organized, focus on smaller, impactful areas. Sort through books and magazines, donating what you’ve read and recycling old magazines. Go through sentimental items like keepsakes, cards, and photos, keeping only the most meaningful. Remove furniture and decor that no longer fit your style.
Maintain the Momentum
Decluttering is an ongoing habit, not a one-time task. Stay ahead of clutter with easy strategies. Follow the “one in, one out” rule by removing an old item whenever you bring something new home. Schedule a mini decluttering session each season to stay organized. Be mindful of your shopping habits to avoid bringing unnecessary clutter back.
Conclusion
Decluttering isn’t just about tidying up—it’s about making space for clarity and purpose. By organizing your home before the New Year, you’ll set the stage for fresh goals and meaningful experiences. Take it step by step, and remember, every little effort counts.
