Spring is a week away but I’ve already got spring cleaning fever! Are you feeling the need to remove everything from every drawer, every cabinet, and every closet to decide what is or isn’t bringing you joy? Ok, but are you ready for a fresh start and an organized home? Me too, friend. Me too.

This is the ultimate declutter checklist! With prep day instructions and segmented project lists, you can tackle it all in one weekend or separate it out throughout the season. This handy checklist helps alleviate the stress of where to start by giving you step-by-step guidance.

Decluttering can be overwhelming. My strategy? Approach each space with these 3 steps in mind:

1. Minimize. 
   Gather like things together to decrease the span across your home. This allows you to see the “stuff” you have to store as well as the available closets, drawers, and cabinets you have to store it all in. Store like things together; everything will have its own place which makes staying organized easier!
   
2. Eliminate. 
   Consolidate, donate, or toss anything non-essential. This is where you will use the trash bags, recycling containers, and storage bins. Create piles so you can easily see what needs to be donated or recycled.
   
3. Organize.
   When you put it back, organize it and make it pretty! This is the fun part. Organize as you put everything back in place (after wiping down surfaces and clearing out the trash). Use cute bins and labels, like these adorable stickers, to make it look cute! We’re naturally more likely to keep things organized if it looks beautiful.
