Understand the items that you need, want, or know need to go

Sort through your belongings. It’s important to begin with items that you know you need, separate the ones you know you want, and throw away what’s leftover. Toss out old clothes that doesn’t fit correctly anymore, electronics that have long stopped working, old high school sports gear, or even unwanted toys from childhood that your parents gave to you when you moved out of their house. Letting go of sentimental items can be tough so when in doubt go with the classic question of “does is spark joy?”

Find a home for everything

Take a look around your apartment/house. What do you use daily? Start with that. Start by determining your daily necessities and find a home for the items you don’t use as often. It can be as simple as placing that blender that you use every two weeks away in a cupboard that still has some space or even using a Valet Tray to keep your true essentials, like your phone, keys, and accessories, in a safe easy place to spot.

Get Crafty

Ever wanted to try some DIY projects? Now is the time to get crafty! Sort through the pile that you’ve placed to the side to throw away. Determine if there is anything amongst the unfitted clothing and old electronics that you can use to build a new home for those wanted items you don’t need daily. Try making drawer dividers, hooks, hanging rod, and shelves. I know it’s a lot to do, but the extra time that you have during this lockdown allows for more creativity.
