This 28 Day Declutter Challenge is a step-by-step guide I designed to help myself stay focused to declutter my home as stress-free as possible. Each day i will focus on a specific task to keep things manageable while finally getting my home how I dream it could be. I wouldn’t do this in February, I know it’s a 28 day challenge. I did it this way because I thought 28 days would be enough of time and I can then enjoy the last days of the month enjoying my decluttered home. This is also catered to my home and the rooms I have. The Dart Room is actually the dining room, just isn’t used as such. Adjust this to fit your home and get on it so you too can enjoy the space you live in.
