Quick Way to Declutter a Drawer

By Barb Eimer

Idea 3: Declutter a cupboard or a drawer

Again, this is a project that you can finish in one sitting, and it gets the proverbial organizing ball rolling. Try to do one drawer a day or three a week.  Set realistic goals that can be accomplished in twenty minutes.  If you want to start small, do something that can be accomplished while watching a movie on Netflix.  

Take that huge pile of unmatched socks or pull out your kitchen junk drawer and sort away. If you organize for twenty minutes each day, in a month’s time you will have put in 10 hours.  That’s enough to make a real difference in any space!

Another thing I’m always telling people (in a super-loving way, of course!) is that your house didn’t get cluttered in a day and it’s not going to get decluttered in a day. I know it can be hard to get motivated if you are working alone, but that’s why professional organizers exist!

Yes, this is my freebie tip for the day.  At absolutely no cost to you, I’m adding an extra dose of wisdom!  And that’s… if all else fails…
