STEP 1: TRASH

Start with trash. Trash is the easiest of the easy stuff. Throw things away. Stacks of random unimportant papers. Empty deodorant containers. Tissue that missed the trash can last time you had a ferocious allergy attack. Empty tissue boxes.

Don’t worry about digging and moving and sorting everything in every pile (yet). Just grab the obvious trash.

STEP 2: EASY STUFF

For a bedroom that’s a dumping ground, this step is overwhelming. Don’t let it be. When I say to do the easy stuff, I’m talking about the so-ridiculously-obvious-that-it-isn’t-obvious-anymore stuff.

Like clothes on the floor.

Don’t get organized. We’re not changing your ways or implementing long-term solutions today. Decluttering clothing is another chapter. Just pick up the clothes and start filling your laundry hamper or laundry basket or put them in a pile. (A single, distinct pile.)

We’re still on step 2, but as you pick clothing up off the floor, you’re going to find some Duh clothing donations. Make a pile of them.

I am generally anti-pile, but this is a pile with a purpose. It’s a laundry pile. As in, those Duh donations will go straight to your washing machine so you can put them straight into a Donate Box as you pull them out of the dryer.

As a general rule, thrift stores do not wash clothing. You need to wash clothes that have been on the floor and are probably dirty, just like you’d wash them before you’d wear them.

But this isn’t the time for perfection or for letting laundry rituals justify procrastination.
