Clothes you haven’t worn in a year or more
Clothes that no longer fit
Sheets you never use any more

Decorations that are sitting in closets
Bathroom products that you haven’t used in 6 months
Toys that have been grown out of

Anything that you don’t use on a monthly basis (or at least give it some thought)

After getting rid of clutter items and placing them into storage, you will have a plethora of room to work with! Trust me, this makes life significantly easier. As said previously, it’s best to organize room by room. Maybe you start with your bedroom, then your bathroom, then maybe your car. The places where you spend the most time are the places which you should begin with. The key to organization is finding a place for everything. Clutter mainly comes from throwing things on the counter or floor and from shoving things into a random drawers or closets. If you create a place for everything to go and you make a habit of putting things away in that specific location, you’ll have a much easier time keeping your space organized. Additional organization tips are listed below:

Make your bed each morning. This will give your bedroom a fresh and complete look.
Use velcro bands to connect all electronic cords. Cords have a clutter look but these velcro bands make it easy to hide them.
Sell more expensive, unneeded items! You can store them with Mini U Storage until you have a buyer!
Match your clothes hangers, rather than having a variety of hanger colors and styles. This will automatically give your closet a more organized feel.
Continue organizing. A common problem is people will declutter, organize, and then allow it to all come back again. Avoid destroying all of your hard work!

By taking these steps, you will have created more space in your area allowing for a clutter-free environment. Take note on how much more productive you feel after doing so. We guarantee it will amaze you.
