Why a Daily Decluttering Challenge Might be Right for You

Are you struggling on how to start decluttering and organizing your home? Taking part in a daily decluttering challenge might be just the kick starter you need to begin your journey.

What’s a daily decluttering challenge? It’s when you choose an area of your home each day for a specific time period (I like to do one month) and find one item that you no longer need, use, is passed its expiration date, is worn out or was a gift that you have no intention of using and you make the decision to declutter it from your home.

Embracing the 20/20 Decluttering Rule

Like other decluttering rules, the 20/20 decluttering rule is a guideline to help you get your home decluttered and organized and teaches you how to maintain your decluttered home going forward.

Of course, this rule can be flexible depending on your comfort level. The key with this rule is to use it for items that are not a regular part of your everyday living. For example, if you find a cord and you don't know what electronic device it belongs to, is it worth keeping it in a box or is it okay to recycle it and purchase a new one if you eventually discover the device it belongs to.
