Conquer Small Clutter Hotspots!
Decluttering often means tackling a big area such as a kitchen or garage. It that feels overwhelming, start small. Tackling a tiny clutter zone gives you a quick win and the motivation to keep going.
- The Dumping Zone (i.e., a counter, entryway or chair) – Toss unwanted mail, put what you need in a basket and place your keys on a tray or wall key holder.
- The Catch-All Kitchen Drawer- Toss random plastic takeout utensils, sauce packets, old pens and scraps of paper you don’t need.
- Bathroom Cabinets- Get rid of half-empty or leaking toiletries and expired products.
- Spare Room Closets- Take everything out, then assess what to keep, toss, or donate.
- Coat Closet- Keep only what you need for the season you are in and store the rest.
- The Car- Keep a bag handy for trash and wet wipes to take care of spills.
- Digital Clutter- Computer slow? Try deleting old files in your download folder and emptying recycle bin.
Decluttering isn’t just about tidying up—it’s about creating a home that feels calm, functional, and aligned with your lifestyle. When you start small and take on one area at a time, the process becomes less overwhelming and more rewarding. Each small win, whether it’s organizing a drawer or clearing out old digital files, builds momentum and motivation to keep going. Over time, you’ll not only see a difference in your physical space but also feel the mental clarity that comes with it. Decluttering is a journey, and every step you take is a step toward a more intentional and peaceful way of living.
