Day 1. Get ready to declutter!
Make a designated box or bag in your house for the items that you’re going to purge. As you declutter, the items will get placed here. We’ll worry about getting them out of the house on another day. Understand the ‘why’ behind wanting to declutter. If you have a purpose in mind and make decluttering a habit, then you’ll be able to keep your home clutter-free by the end of the month.
Read some of these posts and hold onto your ‘why’ for minimalism:

New Year’s Resolution: Declutter Your Life
Every day in January, there will be a short post with one area to minimize and declutter. There will be tips and tricks, encouraging articles to read, and some advice on how to proceed. Each image and challenge will also be on the Simple Adventure facebook page. Or you can join the facebook group: Declutter You Life for encouragement throughout January. If you want a place to ask questions, share your triumphs, or post your decluttered area, then comment and join the conversation on that day’s post!
You can also sign up for the Simple Adventure Newsletter to receive updates every few weeks. I’ll send you my favourite articles since the last newsletter.
