It’s January and time for another 10 Minutes A Day Decluttering Challenge! Take just ten minutes a day to remove the clutter from one area of your home and you’ll be organized in no time!
Last month I showed you my embarrassing kitchen cart–the dumping ground for purses, projects and personal items.
I was able to clean up that mess and re-purpose this space as a message center and work area. The basket holds keys and small items like glue for quick projects and a folder with our current retail coupons inside (shoe stores, etc.). Now we have a central location for reminders and phone messages.
Last week we spent time going through closets and dressers, so we now have this lovely pile of things to donate to Good Will. Clearing out the extra stuff makes life more peaceful and efficient. It’s easier for the kids to decide what to wear when they are not looking at lots of clothes they have outgrown!

So ready to get a start on this! I have enjoyed your suggestions. Everything is simple to understand and easy to follow, just a matter of sticking to it. I shared your blog and pinterest page with my husband we are so ready to get out of debt! Thank you for sharing some awesome suggestions on getting control of your life. We have taken the Dave Ramsey classes on getting out of debt… It all works great when you stick with it. Thank you for sharing your life with others and encouraging people to make a better life for themselves.
Thanks so much for your encouragement Robin. I just want to encourage people that they really can live the life that they want.
I will be delivering my baby in 8 weeks! Def doing this!
This is great. I started going through the kids clothes after each load, picking out things here and there and then trying to see who has what. with four boys it is is bigger task then it seems but 10 mins a day has helped me take baby steps.
