Clutter can feel overwhelming, like a mountain you need an axe to climb. When it feels like you’re drowning in stuff, it’s hard to know where to start.
Here are 25 things you can tackle right now.
Car
Grab a garbage bag and get rid of the junk! Throw out the trash in your cup holders and clear out anything you don’t need.
Shoes
Declutter just one pair! Choose a pair that hurts your feet and you never wear—there’s no need to keep shoes that cause you pain.

Reusable Jars

Freezer
What items at the back can you still cook with? And what’s so freezer-burned that it needs to be tossed?

Shower

Coffee Mug
This one might be tough, but start by getting rid of just one. Do you have any mugs that are chipped, cracked, or from that company retreat 20 years ago? I’m sure there’s one that hasn’t seen a drop of coffee in ages!

Condiment Packets
These expire, you know! Go through them, toss the ones you’ve had too long, and be honest with yourself—will you ever actually use any of them?

Spices
These expire as well! Get rid of the ones that have lost their flavor.
