Be sure to shred sections of those papers that contain any sensitive information. Recycle the rest.  ___ Declutter your kitchen: Each day, find 1 kitchen tool, gadget, dishware, glassware, etc. that you never use. Donate it or dump it.  ___ Declutter a room where you store things: Whether it’s your basement, attic, a spare room, a closet, etc., each day, say goodbye to one item you’re not using and/or loving. Remember, if that item is hidden away in storage, it’s likely a good candidate for removal.  ___ Declutter your office supplies: Whether you work at an office or not, most of us have office supplies. Each day, get rid of at least 1 office-related item you no longer need  (musty file folders, report covers, old software CDs, outdated laptops, etc.)  ___ Declutter your pantry: Each day, get rid of 1 food item in your pantry that is expired or that you won’t eat. Donate it or dump it.  ___ Declutter your social media list: Each day, “unfriend” 1 person or “unfollow” 1 page. Think “quality over quantity” when it comes to your social media friends and follows.  ___ Declutter your cleaning supplies: Each day, safely declutter at least 1 cleaning supply you never use or don’t like.  ___ Declutter your craft supplies:  Each day, say farewell to 1 craft supply in your stash.
