From the medicine chest, kitchen, and living area, to the desk drawer, closet, and jewellery box, things tend to accumulate quickly around the home.
If you live in a smaller place or find yourself searching for stuff you need all the time, or rummaging through items in your drawer you neither like, nor need, then it might be time to do a little burst of decluttering.
The good news is that it’s super simple to jumpstart a decluttering burst today with any of these ten categories. You’re very likely to find things to weed out in each of these areas!
Easy Decluttering Bursts
These are just some examples of what I found around my own home. All of these things to declutter are from areas and categories you can easily scour on the fly:
- Expired staples in the kitchen and pantry
- Ripped, stained or tattered underwear
- Socks with holes, or tights with runs
- Product pamphlets and brochures
- Old magazines
- Dried up art supplies like paints, markers, ink pads
- Expired medicine
- Clothes that make you feel bad
- Cables and adapters you don’t know what they belong to
- Broken costume jewellery
