mini-sort
The first pillar of home organization is to declutter. Most people know they need to let go of what they don’t need, use or love- but it’s often harder said than done… until now. We’re going to start small with weekly declutter challenges called “mini-sorts” and when I say mini, I mean 15 minutes or less. The idea is to get you started and maybe even to inspire you to do more!
what you’ll learn:
step two: categorize
trash/Recycle: toss anything not usable.
keep: things that will stay in the space or container
donation: things you no longer need, use or love… but someone else might.
relocate: things that belong to another area of the home, add to the empty basket/bin for distribution.
step three: finalize
relocate: take that basket/bin of things, walk around the house and put them back in their place. Do it now, or you’ve just created another project for yourself! Big no-no!
clean-up: put everything away, toss trash, add donations to your car, etc
step one: prep
review: “mini-sort” of the week.
supplies: trash bag, donation bag, empty basket or bin.
ambience: Do you need quiet, a podcast, or motivating music (hello, 90’s hip-hop)?
DECLUTTER METHOD
mini-sort
Now that you’re familiar with how to use the declutter method. Let’s get started. I’d suggest going in chronological order, one week at a time, but you can do as many “mini-sorts” in which ever order you choose. Start building your declutter muscle.
Every Friday you’ll find another mini-sort.
