In addition, there’s a few items you’ll want to weed out every season since they expire.

The best categories to tackle in spring are items from winter because they’re already out and fresh in your mind, plus items you’ll use in the upcoming season. It’s amazing what you’ll realize you no longer need once you’re faced with packing it into boxes and hauling it out of your home, into a truck, and into another space. Moving is another life transition that warrants a big decluttering. Same with the transition from elementary to middle school, and ongoing until- DEEP SOB– you have an empty nest. As kids move from toddlerhood to elementary school, there will be a huge shift in what you need to keep. Because your needs shift with each season of the year, focusing on just those categories will keep your home tidy and clutter at a minimum. Then, keep it up as the seasons of the year and life change. Use this Decluttering Checklist to declutter your home by category. That one deep decluttering may take a year, and that’s okay! Working through each category and getting rid of as much as you can, while organizing along the way, will create more time and space than doing constant ‘skin deep’ decluttering all the time. My proven decluttering approach has been this: do a whole-house, deep decluttering once.
