One of the easiest way to start decluttering is by de-trashing. By getting rid of obvious trash, you’ll make progress, and you’ll be able to see the rest of your stuff more clearly.

To start de-trashing, grab a garbage bag, and think of a number. I like to use the number 25. Then, go through an area of your home, and throw away at least 25 items.

Items to De-Trash – Straw wrappers – Old newspapers/    magazines – Flyers – Old papers – Unfinished food

Items to De-Trash – Wrappers – Random plastic pieces  – Broken items – Dead plants or flowers – Empty or almost empty   containers

Items to De-Trash – Pens that don’t work – Stretched out rubber bands   for hair – Annoying wire or plastic   hangers – Receipts that don’t need to   be kept  – Used or sort of used napkins   or paper towels

Items to De-Trash – Post-it notes with reminders that are no longer needed – Empty cans and bottles – Bills from 2008 – Ketchup packets, soy sauce packets, etc. – Old grocery lists
