I’ve compiled a list of 101 things to declutter right now! So grab a box for donations and a trash bag, let’s get started!

How to get started with decluttering

If you’re new to decluttering, start with one room a day. Set a timer for about 15 minutes. Start with the items on this list. Regularly decluttering is a habit that is learned. Slowly work your way through the list. Normally, once you start, it gets easier as you keep going. You start to become ruthless and it gets easier to make decisions without fatigue.
