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…

I started this just after Christmas and I have almost achieved an empty fridge and freezer.
