Quick and fun checklist (totally FREE as well!) of 31 things to throw away from your home and life in October. Take the month one step at a time and declutter one thing each day from your home and life. Get things sorted, one step at a time, and enjoy a more clutter free home.
This is the tenth installment of my 12 part series of free decluttering printables this year – all based around the popular post – 365 things to declutter from your home and life this year.
You can choose how you do things with each monthly declutter checklist (which you can grab NOW in the Printables Library). Either do it all on one day in a blitz session, or take it slowly and declutter one item a day on the date the checklist suggests.
It really depends on what time you have available, and how you like to do things (as always!).
Without further ado, let’s get on with Octobers decluttering, and get all those things to throw away, well, thrown away!
Hope you enjoy!
31 Things to throw away in October
#1 – Presents in your present box that aren’t looking their best any longer
#2 – Business cards / trade flyers – add details to your HOME FILE and recycle them
#3 – Old phone cases you don’t use (or that don’t fit your phone anymore)
#4 – Food you don’t want to be eating (snacks, sweets, sugar etc….) – this will help you stick to what you want! Take it to a food bank and let someone else use it.
#5 – Clothes that don’t suit your style any longer
#6 – Photos on your phone that you don’t need to keep (selfies, pics of random stuff in your day to day life etc…)

#8 – Duvet covers that don’t fit any beds you have
#9 – Shoe polish in colours you don’t have shoes in
