Start With the Low-Hanging Fruit

If it's difficult for you to throw things away, start with the easiest items. Do you have socks with holes? An ugly sweater that was a gift that you will never wear? A trendy item that is now out of fashion? Make a pile, and donate, recycle or throw them all away.

Go Through All Your Tops at Once

Best-selling decluttering queen Marie Kondo advises going through one category of clothes at a time. Take all your tops out of your closet, dresser or wherever else they are, and put them in one place. Go through them and see which ones you still love, and get rid of the near duplicates, worn out tops and those that no longer fit. Keep only the ones that you love. Then, on another day, do the same thing with all of your pants. On another day, declutter all of your jackets, and so on.

Get Rid of Items From Your Past That You No Longer Need

If you recently moved to Dallas, Texas, from a colder climate, you don't need all your thermal underwear and heavy winter coats. If you lost a lot of weight, you don't need to hang onto the clothes that no longer fit. You don't have to save your band uniform from high school. If these items help you remember good times, take pictures of the clothes before you discard them.

Declutter

Get rid of any unnecessary items in your house. If you do not want to dispose of them, find a junk drawer to store them neatly. Junk may include anything from stamps, old magazines, takeout menus, and jewelry that you no longer need. If you choose to keep the clutter, organize it into categories. Do not store everything together.

Hidden Chargers

Phone chargers have become so important these days that they are everywhere. However, your phone chargers do not always have to be on display. Find a hidden place to keep them. You can set your charging station in a nightstand drawer.

Bathroom

You can make your bathroom organized if every member of the family takes responsibility. Assign a specific color to each person. If, for example, someone is assigned the color green, their toothbrush, towel, sheets and laundry hamper will be green in color. That way, it is easier to keep every member accountable.

Kitchen

In the kitchen, get rid of stained and chipped mugs. Do not keep anything that you no longer use or like. If you already have a certain item, do not buy more of it. Arrange your fridge so that you easily access food, and store food in containers with labels. If you keep all your food in one place, it is difficult to know what to eat first. If there is not enough room for your kitchen items, it means that you need to let some of them go.

Kids Closet

Invest in quality storage boxes and baskets for your kids’ clothes. Their toys should be organized in a specific area. Train your kids to put a toy back after they play with it. Arrange the toys so that their favorite toys are easy to access. If clothes do not fit anymore, give them away.
