In week 12 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, we wrap up our closet clear-out by sorting and decluttering a few miscellaneous accessories that we often overlook when we do a closet purge. Today’s task involves decluttering scarves, belts and jewellery. There’s a pretty good chance you’ve got a lot of these items taking up space in your home.

It’s week 11 of the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge. We’re almost at the end of our closet clear-out.

Decluttering challenge – Week 9 – Desktop clutter
The second Tuesday of March is Organize Your Home Office Day. I don’t know about you, but my home office always seems to be in need of a clean-up. This week in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge, we’ll take a break from closet decluttering and clean up and organize our desktop clutter.

We announced my retirement date at work this week. In this week’s edition of The Sunday Spark, I discuss why I have a hard time saying the word retirement, along with three ways mushrooms are helping the planet, and the daunting task of decluttering t-shirts and sweatshirts.
Decluttering challenge – Week 7 – T-shirts & sweatshirts
Our week 7 task in the 52-Week Decluttering Challenge could be the most challenging one of all for me. This week, we continue our closet purge with t-shirts and sweatshirts.
