30 Days To Minimalism
Category: Clothing
Day 1: Bags | purses | wallets Dump it all out on a table and start fresh.
Tip: try getting in the habit of clearing it at least once a week.
Day 2: Clothes Tip: I like to use Marie Kondo’s method of cleaning per
category. For example, start with shirts first, then pants, then
dresses, etc.
Pull them out from all possible locations: whether hung or
folded.
Create your yes, no and maybe pile. Donate the no pile.
Tip: tuck away the maybe pile for 2 - 6 months. If you haven’t
needed to retrieve anything after that time, it may mean you
don’t need it in the end.
Day 3: Undergarments Underwear, boxers, briefs, bras, socks that are uncomfortable
or worn out.
Day 4: Shoes Uncomfortable, worn out, or unused because it simply isn’t
your style.
Day 5: Beauty products Makeup, perfume, hair products, skin products, nail polish,
worn out hair ties and useless hair clips or bobby pins.
Remember: your skin and body deserve the best! Only use
the items you love.
Day 6: Accessories Broken watches, broken belts, earrings missing a pair, broken
sunglasses.
Category: Office & Media Supplies
Day 7: Magazines | manuals Or other unused booklets/papers laying around the house.
Tip: most of these things can be found online.
Day 8: Notebooks | textbooks Unused or out-of-date
Day 9: CDs | DVDs | books Items that are unused or no longer sparking joy.
Day 10: Old/unused electronics This includes old or unused cables as well
Remember: recycle responsibly if you can’t sell or donate it.
Day 11: Receipts | bills | Tip: an expanding file folder can really help to keep the
documents necessary documents more organized.
Day 12: Stationery supplies From all over the house: removing dried out pens, compiling
loose paper clips, and donating excess supplies.

Day 13: Linens | towels Worn out sheets, pillow cases, towels or washcloths
Tip: consider re-using by cutting them up into rags to use for
future cleaning.
Day14: Cleaning products Tip: consider using more natural cleaning products such as a
simple baking soda, vinegar and water solution, or some all-
purpose (vegan) castile soap and water solution.
Day 15: The junk drawer Find the items a home to avoid future pile-ups in this area.
Day 16: Tops of shelves & A quick sweep to remove any lingering or unnecessary items
dressers on the top of furniture pieces or shelves around the home.
Day 17: Furniture Items that are useless, broken, or don’t bring joy.
Tip: look at your space with fresh eyes. If the item serves no
practical purpose, ask yourself, “If it was my first time seeing
this item, would I love it? Would I buy it?”
Category: Kitchen Items
Day18: Fridge | freezer Clearing out items that are old, unused, rotting, expired or
that you don’t enjoy eating.
Day 19: Pantry Same as above.
Tip: storing items in clear, up-cycled glass jars keep the
contents visible and make it easier to keep organized.

containers without lids or excess dishes, cups or utensils.

stored in our phones.
Tip: back up the ones you want to keep.

Tip: create folders for the items to you need to keep. It makes
it easier to find in the future and makes it easier to keep the
inbox clean.

serve you.
