It breaks down the process by category, like the KonMari method, rather than by room. This focus makes attacking your clutter much more approachable so you’re not overwhelmed by an entire room’s worth of work.<\/p>\n Hip2Save’s Lina likes to start by tossing out or organizing her kid’s clothing. If you choose to start there too, check out the Marie Kondo<\/a> folding method to organize clothes. This space-saving folding trick allows you to see ALL the clothes in your closet!<\/p>\n Print our FREE 4-Week Cleanout Challenge Checklist<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n When cleaning out a pantry, drawer, closet, or cabinet we recommend starting by taking everything out<\/strong> so you can really see what you have. Keep only items you are actively using or that truly bring you joy. Then, toss, recycle, or donate items you no longer use<\/strong>!<\/p>\n We recommend calling anywhere you plan to donate first, to make sure each item can be accepted. Consider donating old towels, blankets, and clothing to animal shelters. Unused toiletries, furniture, canned goods, and gently used clothing may be welcome at homeless shelters or women’s shelters.<\/p>\n I mentioned this tip earlier but it’s one I cannot stress enough! One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Always try to sell, donate, or recycle what you can. If it’s stuff from your kiddos, this is a great opportunity to teach them the importance of giving back, recycling, and avoiding waste.<\/p>\n Some of our favorite options for selling and donating are:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Plus, check out our guide on how to recycle<\/a> everything!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n You could also make a rotating art gallery where your little Picasso decides which piece is worthy of the spotlight. Any old artwork can either be filed away or tossed when it’s replaced with something new. Too many masterpieces to choose just one?<\/em> Try creating a galley of artwork to display on the wall or create a photo memory book<\/a> to keep all of the art forever!<\/p>\n One way how to declutter your home is to get rid of poor-quality belongings. We love<\/em> a good bargain, but sometimes cheap home goods aren’t meant to last forever.<\/p>\n While you save a ton of money upfront on inexpensive items for your home, you’ll likely be replacing them after a few years, which costs you time and money. Instead, figure out which pieces you can buy that will last you a lifetime, such as a well-made cooking vessel, as opposed to a single-use kitchen gadget. Plus, you can pass quality pieces down for generations and I LOVE that!<\/p>\n “I religiously follow the book “A Simplified Life<\/a>” and it’s all about keeping life simple with less clutter so there is more room for the intentional things in life. STUFF creates mental clutter. I personally used to buy stuff to just have it but I have learned over the years that I end up throwing it away or getting rid of it — then I’m mad about how much money was wasted. For me, it’s better to focus on higher quality (for most things) and only buy things that you truly like and enjoy.” <\/em>– Amber, Hip Sidekick<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

\n4. Find fun ways to keep the memory.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nSome items are easy to toss. Others, not so much… like your kid’s artwork or greeting cards. For the kiddos, try making a DIY school paper organizer<\/a> that can house their memories from each year, like photos, drawings, or A+ work. It’s easy to store away so it doesn’t take up space around the house and you can revisit the memories when they’re older.<\/p>\n
\n5. Consume less and avoid buying poor-quality home goods.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
