It’s super easy to get distracted with everyday busy life, so here’s 30 things you can start throwing away immediately. Don’t allow yourself to think too much about whether or not you want to keep something, just ask yourself…then get rid of it. Whether you donate or place in the garbage, the feeling afterwards is going to be soothing, and such a relief.
So much that you’re going to get addicted to this project. I like to do these mini challenges every month.
What Things Can You Declutter
- Old Stained Clothing
- Books that aren’t being read
- Papers, magazines
- Office and craft supplies
- Handbags that have seen better days
- Chipped dinnerware
- Excess Mugs
- Toxic beauty products
- Bulky photo albums (switch photos into shadowbox, disc)
- Old nasty towels, linens (donate to shelters)

Here’s The Challenge
Give yourself 1 week to declutter at least some of the items on your list. It doesn’t have to be exact things. You can obviously substitute the stuff to whatever fits your lifestyle. These are just ideas.
Come back here and comment with what you’ve gotten rid of after the week is up. Then continue on and take some before and after pics. Share your list with the group. If you’re not involved, join today.
