Weekend Decluttering Challenge: Simplify Corners for Instant Impact by Organizational Expert
## Weekend Decluttering Challenge: Clear the Corners
In an effort to help individuals achieve a more organized home, a new decluttering challenge has emerged: Clear the Corners. This weekend-long challenge targets highly visible areas that commonly attract mess, known as 'clutter corners'. Here's a suggested approach for the Clear the Corners weekend decluttering challenge:
### Day 1: Entryway Organization
The goal for Day 1 is to sort the cluttered entryway and categorize items: keep, toss, sell, donate, or relocate. An over-the-door organizer can be a useful tool for grab-and-go items such as umbrellas, dog leashes, or keys.
### Day 2: Declutter a 'Clutter Magnet' Zone
The objective for Day 2 is to declutter one 'clutter magnet' zone for 45 minutes. This could be a kitchen counter, a bathroom vanity, or a living room coffee table. Struggling to part with stuff? Some tricks for being more ruthless when decluttering include setting a timer, focusing on one item at a time, and asking yourself if the item serves a purpose or brings joy.
### Day 3: Bedroom Sanctuary
The focus for Day 3 is to declutter the bedroom and make it a sanctuary for rest. Under-bed storage items are suggested for storing out-of-season clothes or items that don't belong in the bedroom. A slide-on closet shelf divider can help keep clothing neat and compartmentalized.
In addition to these steps, a laundry basket, donation bag, and label maker are recommended tools for Day 3. The entryway storage bench used in the challenge has open compartments for sneakers, a large compartment for boots, and a small drawer for keys and wallets. The set of three rectangular nesting baskets used in the challenge are great for organizing the entryway, have built-in handles for easy carrying, and their nesting design makes them look homely.
The laundry basket recommended has a design that keeps it standing, even when empty. The 'Clear the Corners' challenge continues on Day 3, focusing on the bedroom. The challenge is designed in small, manageable steps for low stakes and high impact, aiming to provide tangible results that are visible and feelable.
- Embrace the trend of home organization with the 'Clear the Corners' challenge, which aims to improve overall lifestyle by focusing on health-and-wellness aspects such as fitness-and-exercise and home-and-garden choices.
- To enhance the peaceful environment of the bedroom and boost health-and-wellness, consider using a slide-on closet shelf divider for easy clothing organization and under-bed storage for out-of-season clothes.
