February 4th, 2012 Decluttering

You should be able to complete each of these 10 home organization projects in just 10 minutes! Get them done all in less than 2 hours or organize for just 10 minutes a day and watch your clutter disappear! On your mark get set go!

Home Organization Project #1: Clean out the vegetable drawer in the refrigerator, out with the old and wilted!

Home Organization Project #2: Purge the raggedy linens and refold the good linens you are keeping on just one shelf of the linen closet.

Home Organization Project #3: Purge your old, nasty make-up, it’s not healthy. For guidelines on how long make-up is good, please read more here.

Home Organization Project #4: Clean off the front of the fridge. Pull down all of the expired coupons, outdated phone lists and outdated flyers.

Home Organization Project #5: Clear the top of your office file cabinet. Let go of the phone books, software boxes and old papers that have piled up. Instead, place a tray on top labeled, “To File” and place papers that still need to be filed there. A logical place!

Home Organization Project #6: Organize your jammie drawer. Pull out all of the jammies and put them on the bed, real quick-you only have 10 minutes! Pull out everything that looks old, sloppy and worn out and get rid of it. Refold or buy new jammies that are cute and look nice. Tell your husband I said, “You’re welcome.”

Home Organization Project #7: Now, the top of the fridge! A clean, clear fridge is a happy fridge. Take down the extra cereal boxes and put them in the pantry, the fridge is not an extension of the pantry.

Home Organization Project #8: Tackle under the bathroom sink. If it’s too much for 10 minutes, just take on half. Pull out all the beauty products that you no longer use. You can either give them away or take them to your local hazardous waste drop off if needed.

Home Organization Project #9: Recycle old magazines. Hit the magazine pile and hit it hard. You either have time to read them or you don’t. If you don’t, please recycle or give them away and then cancel your subscription.

Home Organization Project #10: Shoo shoes from the shoe bin. Head to your shoe bin or local ‘kick off’ spot and make sure that the shoes that live there: 1) Have a mate 2) Fit 3) Are actually worn. If they don’t fit the bill, give ‘em the boot! (I couldn’t help it!)
