Day 9 with Helpful Tips by Grace - Clutter Free home - The living and Family room

So we have mastered this whole clutter removal strategy by now right? You may be finding that going through your items is much easier now but you also may still be having trouble. There is no right or wrong here!! Everyone goes through this process their own way, so no stressing!  Today we are moving on to the Family/Living room! In my home, this particular area shows results of every human, pet and doll being in this area LOL! No matter how hard I fight with the children, their toys keep finding their way onto the floor in this room and thus, under my feet at the wee hours of the morning! OUCH!

Today we will have a larger scale of items to go through, at least at my home! I have a mixture of Movies, Books, Toys, figures, cards, pictures...pretty much you name it, and it is probably in here! So let’s remember our important questions to ask ourselves today!

Here is what you should ask yourself to help be as efficient as you can be while going through all of these items;

1)  Have they/I used this in the past 3 months?
2)  Will they/I use this in the next 3 months?
3)  Do they/I have multiple of the same item and therefor I can either combine them or limit it down to one or two?
4)  Is any part of this item broken or defected?
5)  Is this something they or I would actually end up buying (or buy again)?
6)  Are we only keeping this because I bought it and do not want to waste my money?
7)  Does this have sentimental value to them/myself that we cannot live without?

Don't forget to grab a few boxes or bags (or continue using the ones from yesterday) for these categories;

*   Donate
*   Garage sale or kijij
*   Can go to another room to be put away PROPERLY
*   Toss it

And of course, anything that would not fit in these categories would be the items that you put away properly in your Living room!

I cannot WAIT to have a nice clutter free family area! Let's get to work!!!!
