One of my favourite TV show, The Living Room, is featuring another episode with Peter Walsh again which prone me to visit his website. And there I found this free guide to 31 days to get organized challenge 2014. So if you interested, check out Peter Walsh Guide
So I decided let's do it. Even though in few days time, I will be in interstate for few days, it is never a bad time for anything good.
I have found some beautiful photos from various blogs. Please check them out at the end of this post.
So Day #1 Choose 1 drawer in your home
Any drawer and spend good 10 mins. And if you feel you want to do more, go ahead otherwise sit back and relax ready for Day #2.
I chose the chest drawers in my bedroom which I spent 10 mins going through 3 of them and throwing away things I won't use, don't love and not practical. To be honest, I didn't actually throw away as much as I should. I am a bit of hoarder so I will definitely need to come back to these drawers again. But nevermind it was only Day 1.
Day #2 Get rid of those sweaters you no longer wear
Spend 10 mins to get rid of any sweaters that you no longer fit or wear or just plain ugly.
We are still going through the last month of winter which means easier for me to decide what to get rid of. I actually found that I don't have many sweater to get rid of because I haven't outgrown any and I don't have any ugly one that I won't wear. So I just spent 10 mins going through them and tidy up my closet.
Day #3 Declutter Under Your Bed
Drag everything out from that dark mysterious space to discard what you no longer need, use or want and to organize your under-bed storage well.
Well, I definitely spent more than 10 mins to complete this task. I found many odd sock, random pieces of paper and some coins under the bed. I gave the space a good clean before I put one space bag of clothes back under the bed. So happy that that dark mysterious space is not longer mysterious to me.
Day #4 Declutter your luggage
Mission is to spend 10 mins to get rid of any luggage that you no longer use or broken. Put smaller luggages into bigger luggages to save space.
As I love to travel, luggages are very important to me. I love light-weighted, practical and durable luggages. And love the luggages which are able to find inside another one snuggly. Last trip to Europe, I placed a foldable fabric LeSport Sac overnight bag inside a green expandable cabin size luggage which was placed within in a median size Antler luggage. And finally it was placed inside another big red luggage. You can just imagine how much shopping I did. ^^
Day #5 Organize and manage your gift wrapping supplies
To be honest I didn't actually have to do too much with my gift wrap supplies as I put all my rolls of gift wraps in my storage cabinet. I also stored all my other gift wrap supplies like ribbons, stellotapes, and gift taps in a shoe box and labelled it well.
Day #6 Declutter and organize your nightstands
Spend 10 mins to get your nightstands looking clean and organized so that your dreams can be sweet ones! I spent more than 10 mins today to clean one of my nightstand. Few weeks ago, I actually cleaned the other nightstand that I have. It does made me feel better to actually having empty space on m nightstands.
Day #7 Find seven things to put in your new 'Donation Basket'
Place a basket or bin in your garage, laundry or hall closet so that you have a place to immediately place items that you'd like to donate to charity.
I did start with my donation basket today and I managed to put more than 10 things in there so far.
Hopefully I can drop the stuff off this week. Sometimes I find the hardest thing is to deliver the things to charity.
Day #8 Choose One sink in your home and go for it
Start small! Choose just one sink in your home - kitchen, bathroom, laundry... Toss the trash, declutter everything else and then organize what's left.
I have to admit I am quite a lazy person so I picked the easiest sink in my house - Kitchen sink. Ever since I cleaned my storage under the kitchen sink few months ago, it has managed to stay relatively clean. So it took me just a few minutes to tidy things up.
Day #9 Declutter and organize your digital life
Delete apps you no linger use or programs that once seemed like a good idea and now you just don't use.
Another easy day for me, I just bought my Samsung Note 3 recently so there are no apps for me to delete. I also haven't install any unuseful apps in my iPad. So I spent my 10 mins clearing my email. I guess that is still consider decluttering my digital life ^^
Day #10 Declutter and organize your wallets, purses or pocketbooks
Today is the day to lighten the load in your wallet or purse.
I have started to have a weekly clean checklist few months ago. Every Tuesday is the day that I declutter and organize all my paper works. So my wallet and purse only had a few receipts to be filed away. EASY!!!
There you go my First 10 days of the 30 days challenge.
