Decluttering - January ...

So, one of my goals this year is to declutter.  My idea is to take one area each month and work on decluttering it.  By decluttering, I mean to throw/give away what I don't use or need and to organize what I keep.  I probably need to go with the three pile system.  Keep; Give/Throw Away; Undecided. (is that the three categories?).

The area I want to attack first is my bedroom/bathroom.  I'll start this weekend with the bathroom and if I'm inspired/motivated, I'll work on one of the other areas too.

Here are the before pictures.

Bathroom


Closet



Bedside Table


The other areas to work on are:
  • the attic
  • sewing room
  • kitchen
  • linen closet
  • sewing room
The attic will be the hardest, but also the most rewarding.  Not sure what I'll go with next month -- depends how this month goes.

It's not quite as daunting of a project when I break it down this way.  None of these areas should take too long and by the end of the year (or sooner), my house should be in good shape, right?

I guess the challenge after this will be to maintain the declutter - guess that's like maintaining weight loss (which I suck at).
