If clutter is overwhelming you, use this room by room guide of things to throw away to get a jump start
I have been working really hard on decluttering my house recently. Having too much stuff makes keeping your space clean and organized very difficult. Plus, it makes everything seem overwhelming.
It can feel like a huge undertaking to get your home decluttered once and for all which is why I like to start with this list. All you need to do, is go through and toss the things on this list. Of course, making sure to donate or recycle the things you can.
We’ve been using The Declutter Workbook as well, to help us get everything back in order.
