The last Saturday in September is Save Your Photos Day, a day to educate people about ways to organize, share and protect their memories. Week 38 in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge is all about organizing our photos and preserving our priceless family memories.
Decluttering challenge – Week 37 – Digital Files
“Out of sight, Out of mind”. It’s an expression we’ve all heard many times. As I continue digital decluttering in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, I’m finding this to be true when it comes to the files we store on our computers and other devices. This week, I’m decluttering and organizing digital files and folders.
Decluttering challenge – Week 36 – Apps and software
Do you have unused software and apps cluttering up your devices? If you do, you’re in the right place! In week 36 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, we continue with digital decluttering. This week, we’ll simplify our lives by decluttering unused apps and software.
Decluttering challenge – Week 35 – Email cleanup
When we think of clutter, it’s easy to focus only on what we can see. But there’s a different kind of clutter that can be just as distracting as visible clutter. This month, we turn our attention in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge to digital clutter, starting this week with an email cleanup.
Decluttering challenge – Week 34 – Outdoor toys and kids’ playhouse
Are there places inside or outside your home that you haven’t ventured into in years? In week 34 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, we’re tackling one of those areas. It’s time for the long-overdue task of decluttering outdoor toys in our kids’ playhouse.
Decluttering challenge – Week 33 – Important documents and emergency binder
If you lost your wallet, how easily could you identify and replace everything in it? How quickly could you find your birth certificate or other important papers? In week 33 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, we’re taking on the critical task of organizing important documents. We’ll also put together an emergency binder so we, or our loved ones, can easily find things in case of an emergency.
Decluttering challenge – Week 32 – Paper files & filing cabinets
It’s week 32 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge. Last week, we made a start on our home office by clearing out our desk drawers and office supplies. This week, we continue that work by decluttering paper files and filing cabinets.
Decluttering challenge – Week 31 – Desk drawers & office supplies
For many people, the shift to full-time home working in 2020 introduced big changes to their household. As a hybrid worker before we even gave that a name, I was fortunate to have a well-established home office space. For me, the disruption was minimal. Even so, home office decluttering and organizing is never a bad idea. That’s this week’s focus in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge.
Decluttering challenge – Week 30 – Fridge and freezer
Here we are at the end of July already. Is it just me, or is the year just flying by? This week, in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, we finish our kitchen clean-up by decluttering the fridge and freezer. Like last week’s pantry clean-out, this is a task that’s long overdue for me.
Decluttering challenge – Week 29 – Pantry
Welcome to week 29 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge. For the next couple of weeks, we’re going back to the place where we started in January—the kitchen—to wrap up a couple of areas we missed in the early weeks of the challenge. This week, we’re decluttering the pantry.
