Decluttering Journey Toss

Deciding what to get rid of is one of the toughest parts of your decluttering journey. It is natural to develop a certain attachment to your possessions, and it can seem wasteful to give away something you hardly used. Believe it or not, there are some things that really are not that difficult to part with. Start with this list of 50 easy items to toss on your decluttering journey, and you will soon be paring down like a pro.

Helpful Tools

There are many helpful tools on the market to help you organize after your decluttering journey. So many in fact, that it can be overwhelming! I have been purchasing and reviewing items, but not posting them until they either work or not. Today, I ordered Lynk Shelf Dividers and will have to get back to you on them. In the meantime, here are some organizing items I have used for a long time.

Update: The Lynk Shelf Dividers worked. They stand up firmly and do the trick. However, if you have short items, they may fall through the opening. Here’s a photo of how they are working for me.

You Can do This

As you can see from this list, there are at least a few if not many items you can get rid of without much thought or stress. Visualize how you will feel when there are fewer things around the house to deal with. Give it a try and watch your motivation increase as you ditch your old stuff. You will be making a dent in that clutter before you know it!

Until next time…
