Decluttering your house can feel very overwhelming, yet it’s so satisfying. Once you’ve rid your house of all things that don’t spark happiness, you’ll feel so much better. You’ll feel refreshed and I promise you’ll feel so much better everyday!
I myself deal with anxiety and decluttering makes me feel in control, it makes me feel so much better knowing my house isn’t full of stuff I don’t need or use. It can seriously make a world of difference. I declutter at-least once a year (sometimes more)
Here are some things you can declutter to make you feel good again. Plus I put together a few free printables for you to use to stay organized! Make sure to subscribe to get access to my free resource library.
Those have been sitting in your house for 3 years… they might be pretty but they are taking up precious space!
Donate them fluffy little things. (I’m a blanket hoarder also sis, I get it but it feels so good)
Okay but seriously… I buy white sheets? Why? Why am I like this? I hate trying to clean up white sheets with kids so I tend to just buy more every so often. (I wash my sheets, I promise but kids.. they never come clean)
Those appliances you buy and think OMG. I’ll use this like everyday… yeah you won’t.
We all know we think we’re a chef, but we aren’t so dump it girl.
You don’t really drink that much water do you?
I somehow always hoard pots and pans. Like maybe I’ll need this medium-small sized pan that i probably have 3 others of. Nope sis, delete it.
You know those extra lids you can’t find the mate to? You have no clue where they even came from or maybe the dog at the bottom!? Yeah throw them out.
I know, I know, I’m not the one to talk about mugs.. I have like 300 but to be fair, I use a lot for displays.
Get that pantry cleaned up! I love using bins for my foods. Makes it look so much cleaner!
I tend to hoard decor until the next year and then I declutter it. The things you don’t wanna use, donate or sell!
Those almost empty cleaning bottles or the ones you’ve never used. Just trash them!
Yup.. I have so many cords and cables I don’t know what they’re even used for..
Those scraps, the ones you haven’t used, sell them girl!
I’m bad at this. I forget about them and don’t trash them. DO IT, don’t be me!
Gosh! I know every single one of us has loads of old makeup! It’ll actually tell you when it expires! Insane right? Throw it out! It’s not good for that beautiful face girl!
….. I hardly do my hair. I keep it simple. One straightener, one hair dryer and one curling wand. Nothing more!
Sometimes I look at my nail polish and wonder what I was thinking buying that color.. get it gone girl!
The dryer eats them, i swear. You’ll never find it so get rid of it!
Those old dingy looking towels? Yup. Throw away or keep in garage for nasty jobs!
Empty DVD cases! DVD’s that are scratched, all of it. Goodbye Hot mess!
The old pens, half wrote in notebooks, half working markers, throw it.
My kids leave broken things everywhere and I’m like we might need that, well i never do. It’s never a missing piece of a toy I think I might need, so trash it is.
I keep extra furniture just in case I ever wanna use it and yup.. you guessed it. I never do, so I got rid of it!
HUGE ONE HERE! I always always always purge my closet every few months. If I find something I haven’t worn in 4 months, I donate it! It helps me keep my closet minimal!
Also kids clothes, purge it. Get rid of old sizes (I always keep small sizes in totes cause it’s just bittersweet)
I know, I know, you’re probably saying “what am I going to do with all of this stuff?”
Well the broken things or used items you just throw it away. Just rid the trash girl! The other items you can have a garage sale or even donate it!
I did it this year and made almost $700 at my garage sale. I donated totes full of toys and clothes as well.
This is just what I tend to start with. I always purge my entire house, I start little and finish it off. It also makes room for more decor when I see it and just have to have it!
If you’re like me, you have to be organized. You have to be able to keep track of what you’ve done and see what you need to do. It’s so overwhelming so I put together a few free printables to make it a little easier to keep track.
It always helps me to have a list and be able to check it off as I go. I also love to have set days. It can be so overwhelming with so many things to declutter!
Make sure to subscribe to get access to these free printables.
A list to check off & a calendar to help you stay organized! Take control again & you mine as well make some money while doing it! It’s a lot of work right?
