3 things that take 30 minutes or less to clear the clutter.

Clearing the clutter can be a daunting job, where do you begin?  On many occasions I have tried to clear the clutter and I just end up in a big fat mess!!
Here is a few tasks that will take 30 minutes or less to complete and will instantly make you feel more in control.

1) Phone Station
Everyone has a phone station, even if like us its just a corner of the bench.
  1. Clear the old paperwork away. Old bills and school notes seem to pile up very quickly. Everything that's important file for later reference. Everything that's out of date bin it.
  2. Check all the pens. Throw out any that no longer work or any that you don't like to use. About 10 should be sufficient.
  3. keep a lined pad or block of post it notes by the pen cup. easy reach to jot down a phone message.
2) Bathroom Draws
  1. This is usually where most people keep make up, nail polish and hand creams. How many do we actually use? For me it was a few things but I seemed to hang on to a lot of things that people had given me as gifts. Many were not my style, colour or didn't agree with my skin. So everything I hadn't used and wasn't planning on really using I packed up and gave away.
  2. I replaced only the things I use on a regular bases, everything else I placed in a separate container. If its still there in a few weeks I will give it away.
3) DVD's
  1. Give away any that you don't enjoy watching.
  2. Give away any kids DVD's that your kids have grown out of
  3. Place all DVD's with the spines facing out and I like to group mine by Category.
