For this week, we are moving to the Office/Homeschool/Homework area! Here are some great tips to think about:
When I have a system that works for a particular area, I will share it here ¦ But I am ALWAYS open to new ideas so if you guys have a great system that works for you for any of these areas in your home please send me links to pictures, or leave a comment with your genius in my comments section.
Things I try to remember when decluttering:
- Be as brutal as I can be.
- Things that are broken and/or don’t work should be tossed.
- Make lists of things that are needed and be patient with filling those needs.
- Try to be honest with the difference between needs and wants. Don’t declutter just to bring a bunch more in.
- For at least a week, try to make do… sometimes I am amazed at what I find that will fill the void just by decluttering another space!
Office declutter challenge for this week (one for each day):
1. School books and projects
2. Art supplies (stored ones, too)
3. Supplies (binders, paper, stored packing materials, shipping stuff, etc)

How about post your successes to our flickr group? We’d love for you to join us!
Good day! I just wish to give a huge thumbs up for the great info you ™ve
here on this post. I will be coming back to your blog for extra soon.
excellent publish, very informative. I’m wondering why the opposite specialists of this sector do not understand this. You should continue your writing. I’m confident, you’ve a huge readers’ base already!
39. you’re actually a good webmaster. The site loading velocity is incredible. It kind of feels that you’re doing any unique trick. Furthermore, The contents are masterwork. you’ve done a wonderful process on this matter!
I don’t even know the way I stopped up here, but I believed this post was once great. I do not recognise who you might be but certainly you’re going to a well-known blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!
How did you do on tackling your list this week? I hope you did MARVELOUSLY! Are you ready to take on another list with us this week? I hope you do!
I like the way you have the area broken down over the week. My hubby is taking my son out of town this weekend, and I am planning to declutter the bedroom while they are gone. We have made some progress over the last few months, but I just want to get the last of it OUT OF HERE!
Great list! I will be redoing my desk area since we just replaced our printer, to ‘clear out the old’ and such. I love what you’ve got going on here, I love meeting people who like to clean and create lists just like I do 🙂
I packed up my living and dining rooms to do a reno. That was 6 years ago and I still have boxes of stuff (china, vases, glassware, etc) in the crawlspace that I occasionally might need but really, I’ve done fine without. I feel so much lighter without all the bits crowding my space I may never pull out the boxes. Decluttering is about being brutal, like you said, but it works.
I have to get into my office and do the same thing soon…
Thanks for the reminder.
I just decluttered my office and although it was hard to throw stuff out I did it and it feels so new and fresh. Purging is always worth it after your done. I give away things we haven’t used in awhile to different charities so it’s a win win! Thanks for sharing your tips !
