De-Cluttering

[travelbug]

Alright, so it seems a few of us are game for a de-cluttering thread/check in.

However you would like to participate is great, I'll post a weekly check-in every Monday.

I am personally setting 12 month de-cluttering task list per month so I'm not overwhelmed. If one takes less time in a month, I'll add a cleaning project or something to mine.

I will start this next Monday. This week we can all think of the tasks we want to accomplish and then we can share next week to kick off our organization/de-cluttering fun!

If anyone has any ideas etc please jump in! Let's do this!

I like this! I just want to purge. We got a few things to help with organizing so hopefully that will help keep some of the clutter down. I just get so overwhelmed so I really need to make a list and check things off one at a time. H is in agreement with this so hopefully when he starts cutting back hours at his second job we can work on it more!

I have been on a mini-crusade lately to de-clutter/organize more so I want to keep it going! I need to think about how to approach it. I guess I should make a list of some sort.

Here are some things I found on Pinterest that I liked if they would be helpful to anyone making a plan!

I am so in! This is a major thing DH and I are wanting to work on. 

I think I need to come up with a weekly task of some sort. Maybe follow something like what estrellita posted. We have literal piles of things in every room of this house.

I'm going to follow two different "missions" daily, as long as I can keep up with it. The first one is Flylady and the second one is Declutter365. Each mission takes 15 minutes or less, so I'm hoping it's doable to keep up with. For example- the missions for today are Today is the day that you will spend 15 minutes in the entrance way of your home. Grab all the mail, shoes and jackets and put them away! AND Declutter and organize kitchen sink area.

I like how Flylady does a different room each week as the focus as well as a speed weekly cleaning (ie, skip the baseboards but vacuum the middle of the room). The declutter one focuses on a different room each month it seems.

suzv - The email thing is something I REALLY need to do. I have a spammy-type email for promos and stuff, but it still drives me crazy because there are some store emails I'm just never going to look at.

I've been on a give things away on my local Buy Nothing FB group kick. It feels great!

I plan to declutter by default since it looks like we'll be moving. Not 100% certain yet, but like 90%.
