Back to Tidying Up, seriously have you seen it yet? It can be a great source of motivation to clear clutter.

In Ep 56 Uncovering Hidden Fears, we shared what we loved about the show. We have even been sucked into videos on Youtube of people using the KonMari Method! We especially loved this one from Wild We Roam!

But as much as we love the KonMari Method, not everyone one has enough time to take everything out and put it on the bed. And if you have toddlers, you know those clothes would be spread all over the house in no time! Any keep or toss piles you made would immediately become the best climbing mountain or ball pit ever!

So today, we are sharing a quick way to clear clutter without turning it into a whole week long project. No need to think too long or hard about these items. It is a quick win!

So grab a trash bag and listen along as we clear out the clutter. You can bring your little kiddos along too, this is going to be fun!

20 Things to Throw Out Today

Before we get started, we know all of these are not going to apply to you. If there are items on this list that you use, ask yourself,

How many is reasonable to keep?

This is a really important question. Be honest with yourself and then get rid of the rest! Let’s jump in!

salad dressing
ketchup packets
soy sauce packets
to-go salt and peppers
overflowing plastic cutlery (just for Bethany)
bread ties
extra canvas bags
party favors
instructions for most household items
used up candles
nail polish
jewelry passed its prime
single earrings
old planners or calendars

markers or pens that don’t work or even that you don’t like
