Decluttering – Questions to ask yourself when deciding to donate, keep or trash/recycle items. Today on the blog, I’m sharing my top tips of decluttering for busy moms.

Hey there, fellow multitasking mavens and chaos coordinators! Today, we’re diving into the cluttered world of… well, decluttering. But fear not! I’ve got some questions to guide us through this mess. Think of it as the ultimate “Keep, Donate, or Toss?” game where the prize is your sanity, and maybe, just maybe, a bit of floor space to call your own.

Decluttering for busy moms, The Ultimate Quize

Before we start, grab a beverage of choice (I won’t judge if it’s wine), take a deep breath, and let’s tackle this decluttering journey together, one question at a time. That’s why we’ve written this blog: The Ultimate guide of decluttering for busy moms.

1. When Was the Last Time You Used It?

Think of this as the “Dating Game” for your belongings. If you haven’t taken that waffle maker out for a spin in over a year, chances are it’s just not that into you. It might be time to let it go and find someone (or something) that truly sparks your joy. Remember, if it’s collecting dust, it’s not collecting love.

2. Does It Make You Feel Like a Million Bucks or Just Meh?

This question is the emotional equivalent of trying on old jeans. Sometimes, we hold onto things because of the memories they carry, not the joy they bring. That concert t-shirt from 2005? If it doesn’t make you feel like the rockstar you are, it might be time for it to stage-dive into the donation bin.

3. Is It a Multipurpose Marvel or a One-Hit Wonder?

We all love a gadget that can do it all (hello, smartphones!). But if an item in your home is more of a one-hit-wonder (looking at you, avocado slicer), it might be time to reassess its place in your kitchen drawer. Aim for items that serve multiple purposes, making your life easier and your drawers less crowded.

4. Would You Buy It Again Today?

Ah, the ultimate question. This is like swiping left or right on your clutter. If you wouldn’t pick it up in a store today, why let it take up precious real estate in your home? Be honest with yourself, and if it’s a “no,” confidently let it go.

5. Can Someone Else Benefit From It More?

Sometimes, letting go is easier when you know your items will help someone in need. Those baby clothes your little one outgrew in a blink? They could warm another baby, spreading the love and making room in your closets. It’s a win-win!

Decluttering for busy moms: The Art of Letting Go and Holding On

Decluttering isn’t just about throwing things away; it’s a delicate dance of deciding what truly matters. It’s about creating a space that reflects the life you want to live, not the storage unit for the life you’ve outgrown. And remember, busy moms, in the game of “Keep, Donate, or Toss,” the real winner is you—gaining more space, more clarity, and maybe a bit more peace (until the next toy explosion, that is).

In Conclusion: Decluttering for busy moms

So, as we wrap up this decluttering rendezvous, remember to be kind to yourself. Each item you decide to keep, donate, or toss is a step towards the home and life you’re crafting for yourself and your family. And hey, if all else fails, there’s always the option of hiding everything in the closet when guests come over. (Your secret’s safe with me!)
