20 Things to Tackle!
Tackle any of these and it will make you feel better and your house show better.
- Linens/Towels. If they’re torn or shredding, time to get rid of them.
- Shoes. Let them go if they are too worn, too painful or just too “what was I thinking?”
- Tupperware. They will never get organized if you keep throwing them in the cabinet.
- Games. As your children grow up the games they play sometimes change. This is a great one to pass on to someone else.
- Clothes. Assess what you wear versus what you don’t… and never will.
- CD’s and DVD’s. I had a friend give a donation of all her DVD’s to a non-profit organization. It was a benefit all around!
- Jewelry. Classic never goes out of style. It’s the “today’s fashion”that you have to be honest about.
- Coats. It’s worth going through it at least once a year.
- Handbags. Not your style anymore? Donate. Sell. Exchange. Give away…and the list goes on.
- Decorations. Some of us have a room full and some of us have a box full. Either way, know what you have so you can enjoy it when the holiday is here.
- Arts/Crafts. If the glue is petrified and the glitter doesn’t move in the bottle, time for some clean up.
- Tools. How many times have you asked – Where is the screwdriver? Here’s your opportunity to always know where it is.
- Pool Equipment. Out and about on your pool deck is the last place for these.
- Pantry. It would be good to go through and check expiration dates periodically.
- Electronics. I suggest one drawer or bin for all cords, adapters and chargers.
- Makeup. Mascara is not the only thing that needs to be changed out periodically.
- Toys. Do your kids play with it any more?
- Junk Drawer. We all have one.
- Mail. Don’t let it pile up. If it isn’t necessary, shred or trash.
- Your kid’s bedrooms. What a great opportunity to show your child how to keep up with their own things.
