Decluttering before school starts will give you peace of mind and a head start to the holidays.
Decluttering your home can help alleviate stress, boost productivity, and promote organization. But trying to do one annual spring organizing session can be overwhelming. Instead, biannual or quarterly decluttering, where you focus on particular seasonal tasks, can make things more manageable.
Consider these five things to declutter before fall, so you’re ready to reset and embrace the cozy season before school starts and the hectic holiday season arrives.
1. Do a Back-to-School Sweep
Start the school year smoothly by decluttering old supplies and seeing what needs to be replaced. Get rid of uniforms or sports attire that don’t fit or are damaged beyond repair. Involve the kids by going through their stationery and craft supplies. Dump pens that have run out of ink, glue sticks that are dried out, and binders that have seen better days.
