Schedule yearly bathroom purges to help keep your space organized. Items to purge include outdated lotions, makeup, and topical skin products, broken bath toys, soiled bath linens, and expired medications and prescriptions. The Drug Enforcement Administration website has information on safe drug disposal and the national drug take-back initiative in October.
My clients tell me all the time that it is easier to get rid of stuff when they know it is going to a worthwhile cause or someone truly in need. Therefore, as an incentive to reduce and de-clutter pick a worthwhile local charity and give.
Some of my most frequented drop sites are:
Savers
Bay State Textiles
New Hope
North Attleboro Animal Shelter
Using one product from start to finish helps maintain order. For example, have only one opened tube of toothpaste. Use it until it’s finished. Then, and only then, open another one. This works for other products as well. Use one bottle of shampoo, bar of soap, tube of ointment, bottle of dish detergent, etc.
The way we feel about our homes influences us every day. I think we all want to be happy in our own homes. Here are three removal guidelines that will make our homes happier.
Did you know that the amount of items you have on your refrigerator can be an indicator of how much clutter you have? So, if your refrigerator is loaded with items, remove 50% of them, and keep them off for at least 3 months. This may motivate you to reduce clutter in other areas in your home as well.
