BEFORE CLOSET DECLUTTERING
Organization tips + tricks
Find your biggest pain points
1. Choose one of the top 3 biggest pain points in your home {for me its closets, bathroom and kitchen}. These places in your home are normally locations you find you’re putting all your catch all items and items keep just piling up. Find a good starting point that you feel comfortable with and go from there.

Trust me it was very intimating to get started, but after taking the first step, I could see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!!
TIPS + TRICKS TO HELP YOU DECLUTTER
The use of 3 boxes
2. Have 3 boxes ready to go as you start to organize. One for donation (donate to your local shelters! ) *** local friends, I like to donate to the Artemis center for Women’s and kids***, one for trash and one for relocation items that need to be in another spot in your home. Its amazing how items seem to gravitate all over your house, but such an amazing feeling to put your home back in order!!
Be VERY honest with yourself
3. As you’re going room to room be VERY honest with yourself….. Do we need this item? Have a worn this shoes in the past year?? Is it one of the top 5 toys my child plays with? How often do we use it? Is it broken or do we have all the pieces? If you find yourself truly answering these questions you’ll be donating and throwing out items easier and not even thinking of twice about keeping it!:) You’ll realize very quickly that you don’t really need all the things you keep around in every room.
I am an absolute shoe LOVER, but realized I needed to donate or get rid of some my shoes… not to mention, thanks to early menopause, my feet grew – who knew THAT was a thing?! I asked myself “when was the last time I wore these shoes and are they comfortable?” – if I couldn’t answer this they were given away!!
Just Start!!!!!
4. The hardest part to all of this is JUST STARTING!! Its okay to do take your time and do little pieces at a time. You can’t eat an elephant in one bit, but starting is the ultimate FIRST step. Just jumping on board is the hardest part and letting items go with become easier and easier as you move from room to room.
Use Time Laspe
5. Another fun tip is to put your phone up on time lapse. This tip will help you focus on the project in front of you! We’re all guilty of the time we spend scrolling on our phone – the time laspe is fun to look at when you’re done as see your visual success. I loved looking back and seeing what I accomplished and the feeling was soo soo refreshing!!!
