Day 16 of the Decluttering Challenge: Your Home Office

For day sixteen, we are decluttering our home office. I don’t mean our desks again. I mean the other areas of our office, like the file cabinet, printer shelf, or any area where we keep office supplies. If this were not such a hectic day at our house, I could have done so much more. The 30 Day Decluttering list assigns today fifteen minutes of decluttering time. I had to settle for ten minutes of decluttering and five minutes of filing. The Christmas season is starting to truly crank up, and I am about already whooped. Are any of you […]

Day 15 of the Decluttering Challenge: Laundry Room

For day fifteen of the decluttering challenge, we are heading into the laundry room to see what we can weed out of there. Welcome back to the challenge! Are you ready to dig in? I had to sweep my laundry room before I could do any digging through shelves because the boys tracked a pile of leaves in there that demanded attention. With that done, I dug through the shelves of cleaning supplies I keep next to my washer and dryer. What do you keep in your laundry room? I ended up throwing away at least seven or eight things, […]

Day 13 Decluttering Challenge: 27 Fling Boogie for Your Desk

Welcome back to the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge! I hope y’all are having fun with this. Today we are doing a 27 Fling Boogie on our desk, or home office work space. Wherever you sit and do your computer work or pay your bills, that is where we want to focus. I wrote about this at greater length before. You can find that here. Today we are going to do that same task, but we are going to do our 27 Fling Boogie slightly differently. In my previous post, we put everything in one bag and sorted it at the […]

Day 12 of the Decluttering Challenge: Your Most Cluttered Room

Welcome back to the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge! I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving holiday! How is it going for you so far? Have you worked through a few of the days yet? I hope you will not feel discouraged or give up the idea because it is hard to keep up. I’m cranking these out in quick order to have these ready for everyone. Truth be told, I did not work through this as quickly as I am posting the videos. The first of these videos was filmed a month ago. It has taken me more than […]

Decluttering Kitchen Cabinets Even When You Don’t Feel Like it: Day 11 Decluttering Challenge

I’m calling day eleven the “even when you don’t feel like decluttering” day, because my heart was definitely not in it today. Going through the kitchen cabinets is not fun at all to me. Do you have areas that you just dread more than other areas? Kitchen cabinets are that place for me. I always find so much food that no one wants. It seems wrong to trash food though, you know? Yet, you cannot donate opened food. I usually end up texting friends to see if anyone wants it. I found a friend to take my granola bars, and […]

Day 10 of the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge: Bookshelves

For day ten, we are working on decluttering bookshelves for ten minutes. I found this to be a fairly easy little job. I did create a mess with all the books I pulled out, though. You will see that in the video. To avoid making a giant pile of books in the floor like I did, you might want to have a second box or bag to put books you need your family members to go through. My youngest son still wanted to keep many of the books I hoped we could get rid of. This is how I solved […]

Decluttering the Playroom: Day 9 of the Decluttering Challenge

For day nine, we are decluttering the playroom, or whatever room where your family plays. My kids are old enough that this job wasn’t too hard this time. A few years ago, this was a much more daunting task. The difficulty level of this task completely depends on where you and your family are at in life. With a few little children in the house, this could be a booger. I am not addressing reorganizing toys and cleaning out old toys much in this post. However, I did talk about the best way I know how to organize and clean […]

Day 8 of the Decluttering Challenge: Master Bedroom

Hey y’all! For day eight of our decluttering plan, we are setting a timer and working on our master bedroom. Pick which area of your bedroom needs the most work and go for it. I have several hot spots in that room, but my dresser, which my husband also uses as his desk, is what bothers me the most. As I said before, I am not a perfectly tidy person coming to you with tips from the end of a journey. I am in the middle of this process too, and I have plenty to work on. During this challenge, […]

Day 7 of the Decluttering Challenge: Clean Out One Storage Bin for 15 Minutes

Welcome back to the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge! We made it to week two!! For day seven we are heading straight into a storage container to get the most bang out of our time. I was talking to someone about day seven, and she said she does not really use storage bins. Instead she uses shoe boxes. That just goes to show that she’s doing better than me. My stuff would never fit in a shoe box. Ha! I have these gigantic Rubbermaid and Sterlite bins. I know most people don’t get excited about decluttering your storage bins, so I’m […]
