From the medicine chest, kitchen, and living area, to the desk drawer, closet, and jewellery box, things tend to accumulate quickly around the home.

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!
