Clutter Busters - Declutter Your Way To Happiness

How do you actually go about decluttering?

I want to suggest that you want to start small.

I want to suggest that you start with the refrigerator, or a single cupboard.

Start with the bathroom medicine cabinet. Start with something manageable.

So how do you declutter your bathroom medicine cabinet?

This is a great little project. Take an hour and I bet you can do it.

This is what you have to do.

Open the medicine cabinet and take everything out of it. Take it all out.

Then I want you to get some Windex and spray it all over the cabinet and wipe it clean. It's nice and clean, and if you use some lemon scented, it will leave a nice scent. Make sure you do it perfectly.

Then, go back into that medicine cabinet and start putting only the things back that you use every single day. Only the items you actually use.

You should end up with one shelf empty. I want you to only put things on that one shelf that you have used in the last 6 months.

Now you have daily necessities and things you use occasionally.

If you have one more shelf, only if you have one more shelf, then you may put something on there that you've used in the last 6-12 months.

Then close the door on the medicine cabinet and you should be looking at yourself in the mirror. I want you to spray the glass and clean it beautifully, smile at yourself in the nice, clean mirror and say "Good Job!".

You did it!
You decluttered the medicine cabinet.

Now, what to do with the stuff you didn't put back into the medicine cabinet.

This is stuff that you have not used in over a year.

Any pills, bottles, anything out of date, throw it away. It's that simple.

Everything else that's left, you should probably throw it away. Just throw it away. You have not used it in a year, you probably don't need it. Just throw it away.

Now you have the garbage pail sitting there will all the things in it you threw away.

Take the garbage can out to the trash can, in your garage, in the driveway, and take that little trash pail and empty it into the large one. Put the empty one back in your bathroom or wherever it belongs.

Congratulations! You are now a proud member of the Clutter Busters!
