Clear The Clutter Checklist

By now, you must know that decluttering your home can be a never-ending cycle.

Maybe you just finished doing the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge or have finally had enough of the mess and are just now starting to clear out all of the clutter. 

Either way, the only way to keep your home tidy is to continually maintain it. I know it may seem overwhelming.

I understand because I was once completely overwhelmed by the mess in my home, but I was able to change my mindset and finally clear the clutter!

Read: How To Get Motivated To Clean When You Are Overwhelmed and learn the ONE thing that helped me declutter my whole house.

How To Clear The Clutter

Now, if I can do it, you can, too.

I know it can be hard to figure out where even to start. 

It helps to think about the items you want to live with instead of the things you can live without. When your home is filled with only things you use and love, it becomes a haven you can relax in and be proud of. 

On the other hand, when it is filled with clutter, it can be overwhelming and lead to a great deal ofstress.

Here is a list of 99 things you can throw away and never miss to instantly declutter.

It is a great way to start!

Keep in mind that decluttering daily, weekly, monthly, and even quarterly prevents clutter from accumulating.

If you tie it into your existing routine, your home should stay neat and tidy.

Make it a habit to declutter a little bit every day. 

Always keep a decluttering bin somewhere inconspicuous in your home, and add things you no longer want as you find them.

Using the clutter-clearing checklist will help you maintain a clutter-free home. 

How To Reduce Clutter In Your Home

The simplest way to control clutter is to limit what you bring into your home. You don’t want to go through all the hard work of decluttering your home; you want to just do it all over again. 

You have control over what is brought into your home. 

Before you bring something new into your home, ask yourself the similar questions you asked when decluttering:

  • Will I use it?
  • Do I need it?
  • Do I love it?

Let these questions guide you when you are shopping or when someone gives you something.

Those three questions have saved me so much money.

Recently, I walked into Hobby Lobby and bought nothing.

Two years ago, I would have come out of there regretting all the money I had spent on decorations that I really didn’t need.

Then, I would have been forced to find places to put those decorations or store the decorations that they were replacing.

Now, I try to make all of my seasonal decorations. By keeping things minimal and neutral, they go with everything and can be used again and again.  

Minimize Clutter

Do you see how I minimized bringing clutter into my home?

We hold the control. You must reduce your clutter before it even begins.

If you have a soft spot for shopping sales, try your best not to look unless you need something. 

I spent years wasting money on online shopping and ended up with many things I didn’t need or love.

After working so hard on decluttering my home, I made myself a promise to only fill my home with things I use, need, or love. 

You can prevent paper clutter right now by canceling subscriptions and junk mail. Look into the website OptOutPrescreen.com to remove your name and address from all of those credit card offer junk mailings.

It will save you so much time from throwing them away, and it can protect you from identity theft.

Also, it’s a good idea to keep a paper shredder near where you keep your mail to remove paper clutter immediately.

How To Get Rid Of Stuff

Don’t be afraid to throw things away.

Sometimes, it feels really good to stuff a trash bag full of all of that overwhelming stuff!

Then again, if something is in good condition, add it to the donation bin.

Many people out there struggling would love that old coat. 

Just remember to actually donate to the donation bin when it is full.

You don’t want it sitting around, continuing to add to the mess.

Checklists are truly such a great resource! I found that for me I have to do some sort of de-cluttering/organizing regularly. It doesn't take long before it piles up and feels insurmountable, lol! Having a guide to direct you where to start really helps develop it into a habit. Thanks for the tips!
