Below is a list of storage area and garage clutter items to consider getting rid of. In addition, there's a hall of fame where you can share your own success or get inspired by what others have accomplished.
Almost everyone has an area in their home where they just dump junk, and then it sits there for years, whether in or out of boxes.
However, those areas could be much more functional (and less free of clutter) if we'd just take some time to clear them out and only store stuff in them that we at least periodically use.
I know this sounds daunting though, and depending how much stuff it can be rather intimidating.
There are several challenges within the 52 Week Organized Home Challenge that deal with the most common storage areas in our homes that I encourage you to read:
I've also created quite a few decluttering missions that accompany these challenges, to help you get this area of your home more manageable.
Whether you've done these missions when I've scheduled them during the year, or any other time doesn't really matter to me. I just want to celebrate your success, so here's your chance to show off some before and after pictures when you've done one of the missions. If you're ready to share now click here to begin!
Right now you're decluttering storage areas within your home, and there's a lot of stuff to declutter in these spaces.
I've done the hard work of breaking down these tasks into smaller more manageable steps for you, so you don't get overwhelmed or worry you're forgetting a task, and you can go at the pace you want, whether that's fast or slow.
In addition, you can tackle these decluttering tasks in whatever order you want when you use these checklists!
The decluttering missions for this area of your include:
