De- Junk

Have you heard of the 80/20 Rule? We often use only 20 % of our recipes and don’t use the other 80% on a normal basis. We use only 20% of our dishes and wear only 20% of our clothes.

Let’s get rid of our clutter that is causing us unnecessary work and De Junk our homes.

To sort through your things you will need three containers and a timer. One container will be for trash, one for things that you want to keep but are in the wrong location, and one is for things to give away.

Can you find 15 minutes a day? That’s all it takes to De Junk you home. Consistently set the timer for 15 minutes each day and sort through your things.

• Start to the right of your front door or the room of your choice.
• Tackle whatever pile, table, drawer or closet is there.
• Keep anything you love and have used in the last 6 months.
• If you haven’t used it, put it in the give away bag.
• If it belongs in another room, take it to that room. You’ll sort the other room later.
• Now you know what to do with the trash.

15 minutes a day can clear your house of clutter and simplify your life- less things equals less work, plus you’ll only have the things you love. What joy!
