Declutter Challenge Week 7: Pantry

I really need to work on decluttering my pantry multiple times a time year but for now, going through it once a year definitely helps. It can be surprising what foods you find in the back of your shelves. A little cleaning and organization this week might help you have a lot less food waste in the long run.

Declutter Challenge Week 6: Audio and Visual Entertainment

Depending on what your family members like to do in their free time this category might be a lot to go through or not much at all. We fall into the latter category especially since we don’t play video games. But even we definitely have old music players and DVDs that we don’t watch that can be decluttered from our house. Use the easy system below to help you declutter your visual and audio entertainment items.

Declutter Challenge Week 5: Furniture and Rugs

When people think of clutter, furniture is probably one category that doesn’t often come to mind but you may have a bit more to declutter than you realize. Sometimes we hold onto furniture because of how long we have owned it even if we no longer have a good use for it. Use the easy steps below to declutter furniture and rugs this week.

Declutter Challenge Week 3: Books

I love to read. I read every single day and thankfully my children love books too. That love of reading led to us having a huge excess of books. Last year, using the system below, I decluttered 103 books from our home. This year I won’t have to get rid of nearly as much. Now let’s declutter some books!

Declutter Challenge Week 2: Refrigerator and Freezer

I hope you feel very accomplished after this week’s declutter category because we are cleaning out the refrigerator and freezer. Get rid of any old food and condiments. Since I participated in this Challenge last year I barely had to get rid of anything this year which is awesome! Each year you declutter will get faster and easier.
