365 Things To Declutter From Your Home And Life This Year

It took me a while to think of them all – seriously, hours! – but I’m totally happy with the final cut, as they are all things that will make a difference – big AND small.

365 of course is the number of days in a year, so if you declutter one thing a day over the year, then by the end of it you’ll be 365 things (at least!!) lighter.

Sounds good, doesn’t it!

Of course, the list is HUGE, and so I have given some thought on how to make things easier for you to tackle (as always!) – because one long checklist would be pretty overwhelming!

What I decided is this:

This post is the hub for the entire list – so you can see everything in one place (and tackle things as and when you want to, and you can start at the date you find it all!).

But if you prefer to grab all the free printables, then there are 2 styles you can grab.

Both are in the Printables Library waiting for you (along with over 100 others!) so you can head over there and download the one you want – or you can grab the daily declutter challenge format directly from HERE.

The Daily Decluttering Challenge

Whichever version you pick, on each decluttering list there’s the right number of items for the days in that month, so you can tackle one thing a day over that month.

And if you want to see the individual monthly posts as well, all the links are at the end of this post to make it as easy as possible.

So, for now – let’s get started, shall we…..

365 Things To Declutter This Year

#351 – Decorative Cushions that have lost their plumpness

TIP โ€“ If you love the cushion then you could re-fill with a feather insert which will give it new life

#352 – Cards that have no envelope

#353 – More than one diary – you’ll get confused and double book if you have more than one – you’re only one person!

#354 – Excess loose change โ€“ gather it up and get it to the bank

#355 – Artwork that doesnโ€™t make you happy

#356 – Scraps of wrapping paper that wonโ€™t wrap anything

#357 – Anything in your bins around the house!

#358 – Used candles where the wick has worn down and canโ€™t be lit again

#359 – Anyย plastic carrier bags you are stockpilingย (20 is probably plenty!)

Daily Declutter Challenge - Let Go Of 1 Thing A Day And Be Clutter Free Before You Know It!

#360 – Your bucket list – schedule a couple of things into the next 6 months that you’ve always wanted to do

#361 – Diffusers that have been used up

#362 – Presents that you are keeping so as not to offend the giver โ€“ re-gift to someone who will love it โ€“ you will have said thank you for the gift and have appreciated the thought, but if it’s not something you love then why keep it.

NOTE โ€“ Label who gave you what as it would be awful to re-gift to the original giverโ€ฆ..

#363 – Regrets โ€“ you canโ€™t change the past, so there’s no point in looking backwards. You are you because of the life you have had so far, so the very best thing to do now is to look forward and focus on what you want your life to look like from this point on.

#364 – Christmas cards that you don’t want to keep (You could re-use the rest and make the front of the cards into tags for next years presents – you then would only need to declutter the back half of the card)

#365 – Christmas presents you bought for people, but never used. I usually have a few spares in case people pop by unexpectedly, or I buy a couple of things over the year and forget I’ve got it for someone specifically so I buy something else (rare, but it happens!) – Why not add them into your present box and give to someone else when the time is right?
