Questions to Ask when Decluttering the bathroom.

When it comes to decluttering, there are a few questions that you can continuously ask yourself as you go along to help determine if the item should stay or go. If have you have think about your answer, chances are very likely that you don’t need it. As you are evaluating your items, keep these questions in mind…

 

 

 

 

 

 

DO I USE THIS

You shouldn’t really have to think long about this.  You either use it or you don’t.  Take note that the question is NOT “Will I possibly use this one day?

 

 

 

 

 

IS THIS ITEM EXTRA?

How many bottles of body lotion do you really need?  Do you really use that sparkling eye shadow? Evaluate what you need and use on a regular basis.  As mentioned above, almost all beauty products have a life span so it’s not always wise to “stock up”. Choose your favorite and toss or donate {if unopened} the extras!

 

 

 

 

 

WOULD I BUY THIS TODAY?

Ask yourself if you still love the item and if you would still buy it again today. I find this questions is especially helpful for bathroom decor items. Is it adding beauty or function to the space or is it just adding to the clutter?  For beauty products, think about whether or not you really like the colors on you, does it work for your skin type, is it as effective as you thought it would be, etc.  If the answer is no, it is time for it to go!

DOES THIS HELP TO MAKE MY LIFE EASIER OR BETTER?

There may be some items that you don’t really need, but you do use regularly and they help to simplify things or give you pleasure in life.  You can definitely splurge on some items – just make sure they are useful to you or provide you with joy.

 

 

CAN THE SPACE THAT THIS ITEM TAKES UP BE REDUCED?

For items that I am keeping, I always look for ways to reduce its footprint.  Can the packaging be removed for more condensed storage?  Do you have multiple bottles of the same product that can be combined?

Can you transfer the item to a smaller container?  Is there more appropriate storage that would make it easier to store and/or access?  It’s amazing what a little creativity can do to minimize space!
