Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
How does your dresser look? Do the drawers stuffed full? Today, I want you to pick just one drawer and declutter it. Toss the things that you have not worn in the last year. Toss anything that has holes that are not intended to be there. Toss or give away things that do not fit but would be okay for someone else to wear. Last month, I took one day for each of the drawers of my dresser and thinned out what I keep in my drawers. It has been so quick and easy to put away my folded laundry since I did that. If you have children at home, work your way through their dresser with them, one drawer at a time. When I did this, my husband was encouraged to work on his drawers, too. So we had a nice decluttering session with all of our dressers. It’s not too bad when you do it in small steps.
