Declutter For Spring

50 Things To Clear Out Right Now

Are you feeling like your life could use a dose of minimalism, where you wake up to pristine, white walls, select an outfit from your capsule wardrobe, and whip up breakfast in a kitchen with perfectly organised mason jars? Don’t worry, not all of us are quite there yet.

Sometimes I find myself imagining that the only way to declutter my mind is by reducing my possessions to the bare minimum. But, you don’t have to go that far. A bit of decluttering can work wonders in simplifying your daily routine and clearing your mind. So, I’ve compiled a list of ninety-nine items that you can get rid of this week by tossing, recycling, or donating. Say goodbye to clutter and hello to some much-needed space.

It’s easy to accumulate a collection of unnecessary items in the house without even noticing. The button you kept for that just-in-case scenario, the paper bag you saved because it’s too pretty to throw away, the Tupperware that’s been pushed to the back of the cupboard – they all add up. But, don’t throw them away just yet! Consider having a swap with friends for items like kitchen gadgets, clothes, cosmetics, and puzzles. You’ll reduce the clutter in your home and maybe even gain a new treasure or two.

So, if you’re looking to simplify your life and make some space, here are 50 things to consider getting rid of this week.
