Decluttering Your Closet – Getting Organized

Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool

In Western North Carolina, we have finally had some cooler days, and that has caused me to start switching my clothes around from hot, summer clothes to cool, fall clothes. While I am doing this, I am decluttering. If I did not wear something this summer, I decide why I didn’t wear it. If I can’t come up with a valid reason to keep it, I put it in my basket to donate. I also do this in small steps with the boys. Most of the time, we are decluttering their clothes because they have outgrown them. I also take this time to declutter worn out shoes. I just want you to spend 15 minutes today decluttering in your closet. I do not want you to dump it all out. Just start and work for 15 minutes. This can be done once a day until you have your closet switched over to a new season.

Enjoy your day!

Zone Mission: Declutter in your closet for 15 minutes

Errand Day: Do your errands and grocery shopping this afternoon.

 Afternoon Routine:
