Declutter Day

Having a family Declutter Day once a month helps the whole family. Get every member of the family to sort through their things and collect clothes, toys and other objects they want to throw or give away. They can be brought to a common area. If other familly members would like to use any of those things, they can take them. The remaining stuff can be sorted into things that can be given away, stored for later use or trashed. Decide who to give the things to, and then do it within a few days. Old newspapers, magazines and recycables can be sold to the local recycle shop. Then everyone can spend 30 minutes arranging their shelves before finishing with a great lunch. Try to pick the first or last weekend of every month for your Declutter Day. Your family will learn the joy of giving, and will learn to value and use the things they have. Facebook Twitter LinkedIn WhatsApp
