Today, when you bring in the mail, sort it in front of your paper recycle can. (or..garbage can, or shredder). DO NOT add your mail to yesterday’s pile of mail. (We’ll deal with it later)
Make this a five minute process, no more. Only SORT the mail. Do not turn on the TV or try to cook. No talking on your phone, or to your family. Give yourself this five minutes to start, and finish a task.

Throw away old makeup. Try to throw away half. No one needs 50 lipsticks, and how much eye shadow do you really wear? Be truthful with yourself, are you EVER going to use this makeup? If not – toss it. (Old makeup can actually be dangerous to your eyes and skin )

“If it’s trash, trash it. If it’s good, donate it. There are so many families that can use your help. You can donate a shirt, a kitchen utensil, or a large piece of furniture. By un-cluttering your house, you help yourself, and someone else.” I really believe this, but I don’t always follow through. I’ve “scheduled” a total household clean-out for this summer.

April V. says
I love the two question advice: is it easy to put away and easy to retrieve? I’ve been using this advice for some time and it works very nicely. Sometimes, you have spaces that can’t be fixed (my kitchen is one because there is nowhere in that room where pots and pans are easy to put away and easy to retrieve because the cabinets were ill designed and the space is too small, working on getting that fixed is a big project for later).
kelly king says
Get the kids involved is a great tip.
Nancy Stinson says
Clean the make up drawer. Find this so funny as I have a huge drawer full of make-up that I rarely use. I rarely wear any make-up as I am a wash and go girl. I could probably throw out the whole drawer and not miss any of it.

Making the kids help is the best tip π
Toni says
Get the Kids Involved:
Our children add so much to our lives. Laughter, pride, joy, energy . . and lots of ‘clutter’. Don’t stress the clutter. Teach you children, to help themselves.
Young children tend to drop their toys all over the house. Experts tell us that out of sight, is out of mind. Children need to see their toys, to learn and play. Let them play all day. Before bed, have your kids pick up their toys, and toss into designated storage bins. It will take a few days for them to get used to the new system, but by the end of the week, you will have less work, and your kids will be more self sufficient. A win – win situation!
Johnetta Dawson says

Love this idea:
Family Photos and Children’s Art Work Many families enter and leave the house through the laundry/mud room. Itβs a place that, like it or not, we spend countless hours.. With this in mind, why not make it place where we allow the smiles of our family and friends to lift us up?
