Nap Time Declutter with Me
My room is always the last one to get organized and maintained. But a nightstand declutter is the perfect task to squeeze in while the girls nap!
Step 1: assess and address the situation.
(My nightstand looks like it belongs to my girls based on the contents… moms relate?)
Step 2: remove items that don’t belong.
Step 3: set up a system with functionality.
(Would I love little clear organizers and rainbow items to fill them? Yes. Am I going to spend money on them to never see? No.)
Step 4: keep it tidy
Obviously this is a simplified declutter and each step took like 20 seconds each, but the steps apply to most situations.
Let’s see what other areas we can give a “realistic declutter” this month.

Decluttering can often feel overwhelming, especially for busy parents. To establish a more organized nightstand, start by assessing what's there. Consider removing items that are not used regularly, like random stickers and extra cords cluttering your space. Next, think about establishing a functional system—small organizers can save space and keep essential items like hair clips and quiet time essentials easily accessible. Remember, the goal is not perfection but functionality that suits your lifestyle. Utilize clear bins or trays that allow you to quickly locate items when needed. Regularly maintenance, such as taking just a few minutes each week to tidy up, can prevent clutter from building up again. Lastly, engage your family in maintaining a clean area, helping them understand the importance of organization. Sharing this journey toward a clutter-free home life can also teach your children valuable lessons about tidiness and respect for their space. Overall, a realistic decluttering strategy should fit your daily schedule and not add unnecessary stress to your busy life.
