Here is a list of 100 Things to Throw Away (or donate). This is always a good time of year to get organized and declutter. I have a hard time keeping organized at times. However, I can not stand living in or working around clutter. It feels so good to get rid of things even if it is one time a year!
This printable Declutter Workbook has helped me so much!
This list is a great guide to help you and myself get rid of things that aren’t needed. I will be tackling this list myself and look forward to a less-cluttered house at the end of it.
