Happy Friday! Ready for another organizing idea for your weekend?
Today I'm sharing some ideas to help you declutter this weekend. I'm so inspired by all the decluttering happening in the 365 Items in 365 Days Challenge and I want to encourage more of you to take some time to declutter your homes.
Even if you don't think you've got a clutter problem, if you want to organize your home in 2014, or take on any organizing projects this weekend, it's important to declutter first. No sense organizing stuff you don't need, use, or love! And it will make organizing so much easier :)
Check out these great decluttering ideas!
- First off, my favourite organizer, Peter Walsh, is back at it again this January with his #31Days2GetOrganized series. He shares a great 1-2 minute video each morning introducing the 10 minute decluttering/organizing challenge for the day. Even if you're busy, you can squeeze in a 10-minute challenge :) I've been sharing his videos on Facebook every day, but I know not all of you see what I share there, so I wanted to highlight the series here too. Check out his Facebook page (below) for all the challenges so far and then check back every day for the rest of the month!

- If you're not sure what all the decluttering fuss is about, here's a great explanation of how stuff equals time. Having more stuff takes up more of your time. And getting rid of stuff frees up more time. I like that math :) Because who doesn't want more time, right?!
