Declutter 10 very small items. Perhaps stationery item, jewellery, hair ties or clips that don’t work for you, small excess hardware items…

Declutter something made from paper.

Well where did that month go. Actually where did last week go. Sorry I dropped off the radar, it was Thursday before I realised that I had forgotten about the mini missions. I hope you all managed to find things to declutter without my help.
Today I would like to suggest you find an item in your closet that you haven’t worn for a while and make a point of wearing it this week. Or at least trying it on to see if you actually like it and if is worth keeping. If the answers to those questions is no then out it goes.

Declutter you handbag,wallet or purse. There is usually at least a receipt or two and some miscellaneous items that collect in there.

Declutter a piece of tech that is past being useful to you. I am decluttering my old MacBook as its battery can no longer hold a charge and I don’t need a device so big and cumbersome these days, especially when traveling. I have downsized an iPad and my old files have been loaded onto my husbands MacBook. This item will be sold to someone who I am sure will get years more good use out of it. I am sure the battery can be replaced.

Identify a group of items that you feel you have too many of. Designate a smaller area that they must fit into and reduce the numbers to fit that space. Recently I declutter my craft ribbon stash by deciding that it all had to fit into one storage box, not two. Then I chose which ones I was prepared to part with, such as ones that had been lingering unused for a long time and little bits and pieces that weren’t being used up. Then I bundled up what I didn’t want and sent them with a load of other stuff to the thrift store.
Some suggestions for you might be stationery supplies, make-up, hobby supplies, gift wrap, cutlery…

Delay your next grocery shop by doing a use it up challenge from your fridge, freezer and pantry. Begin this Mission today.

I started this just after Christmas and I have almost achieved an empty fridge and freezer. Granted I don’t store a lot in them anyway but using what is in there, and being inventive also with what is in the pantry, I am well on my way to clearing away all ingredients that won’t keep while I go travelling for six months very soon.

Declutter something you are bored with, sick of, or the novelty has just worn off. Take note that novelty items have a tendency to go this way, so think twice about acquiring such items in future.

Choose a handful of books to donate, sell or give away.

Find something to use up that has been loitering in your home for too long. Maybe a less liked toiletry product, an ingredient in your panty or maybe a craft supply item… Use your imagination.
