Helpful Tips

It's time to get into the habit of letting go of excess stuff, rather than finding a place to stuff it. Having to walk around stuff or over stuff does not make for a peaceful living environment. Let's go room by room and take care of some of the most common clutter problems.

1.) Kitchen: ask yourself what items do I use daily?

These items really deserve the primetime space in your kitchen. They should be within arms reach in the best location available. Watch out for space hogs in the kitchen such as multiple coffee mugs, plastic bags and cleaning products.

2.) Next ask yourself how many of each of these items you need to have a reasonable amount on hand.

Do you have 6 of something but only use one. This is a common problem. Setting limits will help you maintain an organized kitchen easily. Any broken, stained or chipped items need to go.

3.) Donate or discard your extra items, or in the case of glasses or dishes store them in long term storage until needed.

That is only if you have room in or for long-term storage. If you already have a long term storage problem go ahead and get rid of your excess, unless its an item that you can not replace like grandma's good china, in that case get rid of something else and store grandma's china. Remember to periodically go through cabinets and drawers to purge extras and replace worn out or damaged pieces.

last week was 5 min a day under the sink in the bath.. took a couple of days but it is now organized. (or as my bri hubby would say... it is now sorted)

and agonizing hours trying to decide what project to start AND then don't do it because it feels so overwhelming.

today is the dining room table day!! tomorrow the buffet or not.. maybe another area that could use 5-10 min

I have been doing exactly that recently and I agree with you Kim, it is less stressful and doesn't seem so overwhelming either.......great idea, only 5-10 minutes everyday vs spending agonizing hours to declutter.

Am I missing some connection here? I joined thinking that there would be different tips/assignments regarding de-cluttering addressed on a weekly basis. So far the only topic I've seen has to do with the kitchen! Are there more tips/assignments somewhere on this page that I'm not aware of? If so, please let me know! Are we supposed to be adding our tips or solicit help with specific problems areas? Would love to have some feedback!
