10 Things to Declutter your Life Right Now

January 13, 2020 Comments : 4

I made the decision at the beginning of the year that 2020 will be the year for organization and declutter my life. I am slacking a little bit on getting fully organized but there have been multiple steps that I have taken to organize my life just a little bit more. My entire house is a cluttered mess so I have taken on getting rid of things and making things just a little bit more organized. So if your like me and need to declutter, here are 10 things you can get rid of to help declutter your life right now.

Looking for a more organized and decluttered year? Check out 10 things to organize to declutter your life right now. | Organization | Organization Tips | Balanced Life |

Papers

Go through papers you have piled up and don’t need anymore. Scan things that you want to keep and save in a file on your computer.This is a huge start in helping to declutter your life.

E-mails

I know I am guilty have having at any given time over 5000 + emails in my inbox. It’s overwhelming the amount of emails that I get in one day. Sit down and do a massive deleting spree. Once I’m down to only a couple hundred I feel so much better.

Bonus: important emails don’t get buried under all the junk mail when you have thousands built up.

Clothing

Like emails, I also have an overwhelming amount of clothing. My closet and dresser are literally busting at the seams with the amount of clothing I have.

If I’m being honest with myself I truly only wear about 1/3 of what I own. I pick out my favorites and put those on rotate. This is one project I will be tackling soon because it’s getting out of control.

What to do with old clothes? You can donate to the Salvation Army, sell on Poshmark or even find a local shelter or church that takes clothing donations.

Kid’s Toys

Pro tip: do this when the tiny humans are not in the household or they will lose their shit. The majority of the time though, they will have no idea that the ball they haven’t played with in 4 months is now on its way to the dump.

Beauty Products

Go through those makeup bags, linen closets and under the sinks and get rid of old hair products, makeup and other beauty items that you just don’t use. Also it’s a good idea to throw out makeup after 6 months as well.

Toxic People

This is pretty obvious. Get rid of these people from your life ASAP to help declutter your life.

Books

I love books. There’s nothing better then opening a good book and sitting down to read it. However, I don’t need 350 books lying around. Go through, purge some and donate to your library so other people can enjoy.

Pantry Items

Periodically I go through and throw out things that we don’t use, outdated items or those snacks I bought my child that he insisted he loved yet hated as soon as he took one bite.

Old Electronics

You don’t need your very first iPhone lying around or that old printer you have t used in 3 years. Dump the old electronics and free up some space in your closet or desk.

Things you don’t use Anymore

Literally anything you don’t use anymore. Go through that junk drawer or the linen closet. Go through your children’s clothing Stop hanging onto it and get rid of it. The less junk you have lying around the better you will feel overall.

Supporting my postpartum body with @beli.baby Pren Supporting my postpartum body with @beli.baby Prenatal vitamins. 
Not only are the essential prior to conception and during pregnancy; they are essential to keep the body healthy after pregnancy as well. 
I have openly shared my previous miscarriages before finally getting pregnant with Chloe. This is why I decided to check out the Beli Women Prenatal vitamins to help with my own personal fertility and boost my chances of a having a successful pregnancy. The Beli Women Prenatal vitamins are formulated with powerful ingredients that can boost fertility and conception as well as  improve egg quality. As an older mom, this was especially important to me. During pregnancy, the Beli Women Prenatal can protect baby’s brain and spine, help reduce nausea, and then support postpartum recovery and breastfeeding.
And as a busy mom having the ability to order and have them delivered to your door monthly makes it that much easier for me to remember to take them.

A little day off morning routine that for once was A little day off morning routine that for once was not pure craziness. 
Things that help me get out the door in the morning on time is getting up before the kids, having clothes picked out the night before and making sure their bags are packed for daycare and school. 
Mornings before work are a completely different ballgame.
