Finally, everything that did not have a home can be quickly sorted into the five
baskets or bins you have staged for the purpose.
The Bedroom
First, make your bed. It's hard to feel any progress decluttering a bedroom
while an unmade bed stares you in the face.
Start with your nightstands and remove anything on them that doesn’t belong
there and put it in your Put Away bin. This may include books you’ve already
finished reading, broken eyeglasses, pens and paper, and mail. Throw out or
recycle anything that you no longer use, such as empty tissue boxes, pens that
have gone dry, or chargers that no longer work.
Do the same with the tops of your dressers, chests, and/or bureaus. Pay careful
attention to any clothing that is strewn about. Anything that needs folding or
hanging goes into the Put Away bin. If you're afraid it may wrinkle further, you
can lay clothes down on your bed.
