So it’s coming up on week four of quarantine, and I hope you guys are all hanging in there! It has been really challenging, but I’ve been trying to look at it as a time to get super organized and just a time for us all to get our lives together in general. Unless you’re already 100% together, in which case tell me your secrets! So today’s post is going to be on things you can declutter during quarantine to improve your mental health and overall wellbeing.
Over time and the busyness of everyday life, clutter builds up so easily and we don’t even really notice it until there’s a pile of junk sitting right in front of us. This really is not good for your productivity or your sanity.
There are tons of things you can get rid of though! Ideally you donate or give away things that are still in working condition, recycle papers and magazines and only throw away whatever doesn’t fall into those first two categories so this can be somewhat of an environmentally friendly project! 🙂

I have so many old magazines. I went through them this year but I should probably go through them again.
