![]() It’s tempting to hang on to this stuff or let it sit in a bag in the back of the car for months and months, but don’t do it! We’ve worked hard to declutter all month– let’s get that unneeded stuff out of here so we can really take advantage of the extra space and peace of mind! 6. After I list my “Sell” items, I set a reminder on my phone to check back on them in a week and re-list anything that hasn’t sold (possibly at a lower price point). The last day on the decluttering calendar says “Miscellaneous.” This would be a great day to take the time to drop off items at a donation center or list any items we want to sell in Facebook buy/sell groups or on Craigslist. Get Rid of Your “Donate” and “Sell” Items Quickly I would start by grabbing two boxes, bins, or garbage bags, and labeling one “Donate” and one “Sell.” (If you plan to donate everything or sell everything, obviously you will only need one container.) I will then keep these boxes or bags close to my closet and/or drawers so that it is easy to stay organized while I declutter.ĥ. We will (hopefully!) be getting rid of a lot of stuff this month, so we’ll want to have a designated place to collect it all. Set Up a Spot for “Donate” and “Sell” Items You can feel free to follow it exactly, tweak it to fit your liking, or completely disregard it and use your own strategy! 1. I thought I would lay out the process I like to use when decluttering clothes. For more information, see my disclosures here. The calendar is meant to get you started down the right path and give reminders of what to do next it doesn’t have to be a hard and fast rule. If you find yourself with extra time one day and know you’ll be busy in future days, you can definitely do 2 or more of the tasks on one day, check them off, and then pick up again after your busy days have passed. Feel free to just use this calendar as a guide.If you don’t have kids in your household, you can be done early or use the extra days to go over anything you’ve missed. I decided to split it up rather than trying to do every member of the household at once. There are assignments for adults’ items and assignments for kids’ items.on purpose so that the calendar could be used for any year (or any month, for that matter)! The June calendar runs from day 1-30, but I didn’t line up the dates with Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. I intentionally didn’t put specific days of the week on the calendar.That way if you get busy and miss a day or you have a lot of a particular item and it ends up taking a little longer than you expected, you have a built in day to catch up and won’t fall behind. I know life can get busy and schedules fill up, so by assigning a task only every other day, you essentially have two days to complete each one. There is a simple task to complete every other day.(Because really, is there anything more satisfying than crossing something off of your list?! □ )Įach month’s calendar will be stored in the “decluttering vault” so that they are easily accessible all in one place. You can request access to the vault and download the first decluttering calendar by clicking on the button below. No matter which area we’re focusing on, I will break it down into small tasks throughout the month and provide a calendar that you can print out and use to check off the different items that you’ve completed. Another month we might focus on decluttering toys and games, etc. ![]() Another month we might focus on decluttering office or craft supplies. One month we may focus on decluttering the kitchen cabinets. ![]() I had the idea to create a “decluttering calendar” each month, with every month having a different theme. It can feel like an overwhelming task, so recently I started trying to come up with a way to break it down into itty bitty pieces so that the decluttering process wouldn’t feel so intimidating anymore. Sometimes the hardest part of decluttering can be knowing how to get started. Introducing…Monthly Decluttering Challenges! ![]()
