10 Things You Can Declutter Today

Does doing a 30-day decluttering challenge sound kind of enticing to you, yet you don't know where to start?

Feel like you're suffocating in stuff and just want to do a quick tidy-up?

Here are ten ideas for areas and categories you can easily declutter today:

Expired staples in the kitchen and pantry

Ripped, stained or tattered underwear

Socks with holes, or tights with runs (unless they're from Gucci 😅)

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

A 30 day minimalism game can be a first step to help you start decluttering, minimise your belongings and lean into a bit of minimalism.

Take the minsgame challenge yourself. It’s easy and fun!

My Experience With the 30-Day Decluttering Challenge

Last month I finished my first-ever 30-day decluttering challenge, which was inspired by The Minimalists’ game but tweaked to my own rules.

Click through to read about the things I did to keep the process as stress-free and fun as possible, plus some stuff I would do better next time I do a decluttering challenge.

Wow, I made it! All 31 days have had some measure of items to throw away, donate, or give to friends - primarily I’ve donated. The total would have been 496 items, but I’ve gone WELL beyond that. I’m at least at 1,000, but maybe more. Books, dishes, clothing - a lot of those I did not count separately. And still, we have so much, TOO much. I won’t be doing the daily calendar next month, but I will continue to purge. 

I am trying to be more mindful now of what we spend money on. Definitely plan on making changes in the new year. 

Happy New Year’s Eve! Hope we all have a blessed 2021. <3
