Declutter some kind of liquid item that is past its prime. This might be some old nail polish, craft paint or the like that has gotten old and dehydrated. Or it might be a toiletry item that you don’t like. Or maybe go through your pens and make sure there aren’t any that have dried up.

I really am a slack blogger these day. Once again I have been missing missions posts. My only excuse is that I have had visitors. Sorry folks. Today I will give you a Mission to make up for the last three days. One mission, three items.

Identify an area of your home that could use decluttering and reorganisating and find at least three items to declutter.

And now a little side story. Yesterday I took my visitors to a cute little town nearby which has nice antique shops and handmade stores. Although I am not much of a shopper usually I do however enjoy looking at antiques and handmade items. I came home with a second hand book which I will used and then declutter, some candy, which will miraculously disappear 😜, a succulent to add to my balcony garden (no pot required) and also share with a friend and a small secondhand gift for a loved one. So I have helped the economy of that little town in and environmentally friendly way without causing any long term or mass of clutter.

Declutter some scraps of something, maybe timber, paper or fabric, that you set aside to use up one day but have never gotten around to it. Perhaps you can find someone with a similar arts/craft interest that might like to take these items off your hands.

Declutter a less loved item from a large collection.

Sorry folks I haven’t been well this week and the Mini Missions slipped my mind. However after too much time lying and sitting around today I am on a mission to do some organising. I find that doing something useful puts me on the road to recovery much faster than sitting around feeling sorry for myself. And decluttering and organising is a task I enjoy as well as gives me purpose, and having purpose is what life is all about. I also set up the health tracker ap on my phone that will record my activity. This, I am sure will encourage me to achieve higher each day and likely errode those inevitable pounds that pile on ones body while sedentary.

So today’s Mini Mission for both you and I is to find a shelf or drawer to declutter and reorganise. I’m going for a shelf in my linen closet. I’m not sure I will find anything in there to declutter but it can sure do with a tidy up.

Declutter a unloved decor item that is collecting dust.

Declutter something you appreciate for its service to you in the past but that you have no further use for. These items can often be hard to part with because we see the worth in them, but sometimes it is just time to set them free to be useful to someone else

Sorry I have done it again and missed Tuesday. So here are two missions to cover both days.

Declutter something paper.

Declutter one more thing from your kitchen that is rarely or never used. I did this with my son and daughter-in-law yesterday which resulted in two boxes of stuff in the trunk of my car to go to the thrift shop.

Declutter something you bought but never used. And give some serious thought to your acquisition habits. Recreational shopping is a big cause of clutter, a waste of hard earned money and not at all environmentally friendly.

Declutter some sort of ingredient or medium for making stuff with. This might be a chance to make that recipe you’ve been meaning to try with that obscure but unused item in your pantry. Or it might be the inspiration for a craft project. I know which one I am going to choose. Craft of course!
