How does one drawer help? Getting Organized

Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
               
How does decluttering a drawer help you get organized?

This thought has probably been in your mind. Today’s mission is to declutter a bathroom drawer or cabinet. You wonder how in the world decluttering one drawer is going to help you with all you have going on in your day.

By decluttering a bathroom drawer, you are making a step forward in organizing your home. Small steps like this will add up over time.

Once you throw the trash and expired products from your drawer, you will have more storage space in your bathroom. My swish and swipe every morning goes faster because I do not keep my stuff on the counter. I keep it in the drawers and cabinet.

You know when you are running out of toothpaste and floss if you keep your bathroom drawers decluttered.

Next month, you won’t have much to declutter in the drawer you did this month, so you can move on to another area in the bathroom. Once you go through all of the drawers and cabinets, you will circle back and start again. You will be surprised at how you will find something each month to toss.

As you develop the habit of decluttering monthly, you will maintain areas that you have decluttered. Your home will be free of chaos. You just have to be consistent and intentional each day to follow along with the Zone Mission.

Remember, it is just for a few minutes each day.
