Declutter in 15 Minutes with 3 Easy Steps

I came across a great organization blog that suggested 15 minute declutter missions.
Finally, something I can actually tackle! 

I would love my whole house to be organized, but this targeted mission is worth the result of a decluttered area rather than the typical organizational projects that leave me with more piles and disorder than I started with....

A great place to start is your kitchen.
You might just want to start with appliances and cooking tools and do a separate mission for food (fridge, pantry and spices)

Here are the 3 EASY STEPS:

1) Start on one end of your kitchen and work your way around

2) For each item, ask yourself the following:

• Is this in good condition?
  • If no (it needs a repair or needs parts)
    • Schedule a repair in the next week and set it aside, or
    • If it needs major repair or you have no way/plan to fix it, discard it (trash or recycling center/program
• Do I have duplicates? (in the kitchen or another part of the house)
  • If yes, keep the best one and donate the rest
• Have I used this in the past year? 
  • If no, donate and let it bring someone else joy

Remember that you can usually borrow those odd things you only need once every few years.

3) Dispose

• Put donations in your car. Go to HeroSearch.org and plan your drop-offs (or pick ups)
• Take out the trash and/or schedule a drop off at a recycling center
