10 things to do each day to declutter

Here are the top ten things I do every day to reduce clutter in my home and you can easily do them too!

1. Deal with post as I empty my postbox – into action, throw (recycle) or file
2. Delete unimportant emails as soon as I have read them
3. Put the newspaper and empty bottles straight into the recycling box
4. Dirty linen or clothes straight in the laundry bin + before bed a sweep of the house to scoop up anything anyone else has discarded on the floor
5. A sweep of the house before bed collecting up empty cups/glasses and put them straight in the dishwasher not in or by the sink
6. Clear my desk at the end of every day (office and home office)
7. Clear out my handbag of post it notes, receipts
8. Put keys and spare coins straight (plus scoop up any left on the side by my family) in the key/coin tray
9. Hang up coats as soon as we come through the front door
10. Empty the stair basket (positioned at the bottom of the stairs to collect the stuff the kids may abandon) by returning the items to the rooms
