Seasonal Changes: Time to Clear Space
Are you always looking to create more consistency in your organizing and decluttering routines?
But, are you having trouble sticking to a schedule or even know when is a “good time” to do it?
First, there is no good time, any time things start to feel ready to organize and declutter is a good time.
Second, the seasons changing is a great time!
You don’t even have to set a date on your calendar, you just have to start noticing the weather change and you know it’s time to clean out.
Here are 5 simple tips to clear space this fall.
Clear out your summer clothes. What didn’t you wear this summer? What doesn’t fit? Donate them!
Go through any paper clutter. Keep only what you need and throw out or shred the rest. BONUS: Still getting paper bills, but do all of your payments online, turn off paper bills.
Clean out your fridge. You should do this regularly, but we know it easily gets pushed to the back burner.
Return those items that are waiting by the door. Stores know that we won’t return all of the things we intend to, in fact, they rely on that fact. Help clear some space (and get some money back) and return the items you need to. BONUS: Even if its outside of the return window, you may still be able to get store credit for it, and that’s better than keeping something you don’t want!
Clear out your junk drawer (or cabinet, or closet). Often times all we need is to start small and we can feel tremendous results.
