A new Decluttering task will be published on the blog each Tuesday from February (during January it will be randomly as I am publishing The Back to School Series). I will share a link to the task on facebook and in the Tuesday Daily Task newsletter (subscribe to newsletter here).
Follow along on instagram with hashtag #declutter52

The Junk Drawer
The junk drawer… a drawer that hold anything that doesn’t have a home, random pens, cables, paperclips, receipts etc, all in a disorganised mess.
Todays task is to:
- empty all the contents of your junk drawer onto the table (lay down a tablecloth or newspaper before emptying contents).
- Throw out items you no longer need
- Put away items that already have a designated home
- Clean the drawer with a damp cloth
- Group the rest of the items into categories
- Create a place for each of the grouped items; or
- Fill this drawer with little divider containers to help keep it organised and to ‘hopefully’ try and prevent it from becoming a miscellaneous untidy drawer.
Organise the drawer using containers similar to these I use in my kitchen drawers
