Get Rid of Stuff to Begin Uncluttering Your Home
First things first, get rid of trash to start to declutter your home! Go through the room you picked and just start cleaning. Receipts, flyers, school papers, whatever it is you have lying around, throw it away.
You will be amazed by how much more a room will look organized and clean once the excess trash is gone! If you fill one trash bag, that is a great start! You can do it. Promise. I did this same thing in my bathroom and it worked wonders. Check it out.
When you find items that are still in great shape, but you don’t need (which you will) donate them.
Do you want to be sure you are making the right call of getting rid of stuff? Ask yourself these questions.
- Have I used it in the past 6 months?
- If not, do I ever plan on using it?
- Does it hold sentimental value?
If you don’t use it, don’t plan on using it and it holds no value to you then away it goes!
Everything Needs a Space When Organizing
Next, go through your given room and put everything where it needs to go. If it doesn’t have space, then it needs to go or be given one. I find it easiest to stay decluttered and organized when items have a spot where they belong.

To make it simpler pick just 5 items and find a spot for them so it is not overwhelming. You can plan on doing this once a day until you feel like it is finished.
