Tackle Cleaning A Single Shelf At A Time

Tackling a shelf is a great decluttering project that can be completed in just 30 minutes or less. These are often one of the areas in our homes that can become cluttered over time. To begin, choose a shelf that needs decluttering and remove all the items from it. Next, go through each item one by one and decide whether to keep it, donate it, or throw it away. For example, if you’re decluttering a bookshelf, you may want to donate books that you’ve already read or that you no longer need. Toss out any books that are damaged or in poor condition. Once you’ve decided what to keep, organize the remaining items back onto the shelf. Make sure that everything has a designated spot. By doing this, you’ll not only declutter your shelf but also make it easier to find the items you need.

Declutter Your Living Room

Our living rooms can quickly become cluttered with magazines, books, pillows, and other items, making it difficult to relax and enjoy the space. To begin the decluttering process, start by taking a look around your living room. Identify any items that are not in their proper place. Pick up any discarded items and put them away, whether that means throwing away trash, putting books on shelves, or returning decorative items to their proper spots. Next, go through each item one by one. Donate any items that you no longer use or that no longer fit your decor style. Don’t forget to dust and vacuum the living room after decluttering. Once the living room is clean, it will become much easier for you to relax and enjoy a good movie or TV show.

Purge Your Makeup Bag

Discard any makeup products that are expired, no longer work for you, or that you never use. For example, you may have several shades of lipstick that are very similar or that no longer match your skin tone. Once you’ve decided what to keep, organize the remaining items back into your makeup bag in a way that makes sense to you. You can group items by type (e.g. lip products, eye products), or organize them by frequency of use.
