Clutter can be overwhelming, especially when you’re so busy that you don’t have time to clean. Thankfully, there are some simple tasks you can do in thirty seconds (or less!) that can make a major difference in your cleanliness. Here are twenty things you can declutter in thirty seconds:
- Tracked dirt by the door
- Empty shampoo bottles in the shower
- Cups anywhere but the sink/dishwasher
- Makeup on the bathroom counter
- Food packages anywhere but the kitchen trash
- Trash in your purse
- Books off the bookshelf
- Clothes on the floor
- Clothes on your exercise equipment
- Dishes on the table
- Dishes on your desk
- Pens on your desk
- Kids toys on the floor
- Wet towels on the bathroom floor
- Takeout menus you’ll never use
- Coat hangers left out from getting dressed
- The ironing board in the middle of the room
- Shoes on the floor
- That pile of junk mail
- Candy wrappers in your coat pockets
- Starbucks cups in your car
- Unseasonal decorations leaning against the wall
- Reusable shopping bags scattered on the floor
- Scrap paper piled on your desk
Even taking the time to do one or two of these can help you feel less overwhelmed by junk and clutter until you have time or motivation to tackle something a little bigger. And what more, checking off a few things on this list might be the spark you need to light up that motivation. So choose a task, set your timer for thirty seconds, and get your living space looking a little cleaner and more comfortable.
