Clear Bin declutter
Clear bins are seriously the way to go!
Worked on a few smaller closets today, and clear bins are definitely the way to go. I’ve always used bins in my closets ya know, the cutesie ones that match the room they’re in.
I’m definitely an “out of site, out of mind” girlie. I found myself constantly buying products that I had plenty of. Like having 8 tubes of toothpaste and 3 different packages of deodorant. Of course I’ll eventually use them but they’re fairly inexpensive items that can expire and they’re just taking up that much more space. Another problem I have is putting items in the wrong containers because they weren’t labeled or it isn’t easy to see what’s in them, especially on those higher shelves.
Shoutout to the DG for these totes because they were the perfect size and I love that the shorter ones have lids that make them more versatile.
It’s still all pretty messy in there but at least I know my scrunchies are in my hair care box and my bandaids are in the first aid box.
Maybe once I make sure everything has its own spot then I can work on organizing everything in the bins. 🥴 But it’s still January and there are no opened 1/2 used boxes, no expired products, and no leaky messes in this house… and that’s a win for me 🙌@

Organizing your home can feel like a daunting task, but with the right strategies and tools, you can create an efficient system that makes life easier. Clear bins serve as a fantastic solution, allowing you to see what you have without rummaging through clutter. They are especially useful for small items that can easily get lost in opaque containers. For instance, using clear bins in closets makes it easier to organize hair care products, first aid supplies, and other personal items. Not only do they help with visibility, but they also encourage you to declutter by showing what you have too much of. To maximize the use of clear storage bins, consider implementing labels to further streamline access. This simple addition can prevent confusion and save time when you're in a hurry. Furthermore, clear bins can be of various sizes, fitting perfectly into different spaces around your home. Invest in a variety of sizes that suit your needs for flexibility. When it comes to shopping, check for options at local stores like Dollar General, where affordability meets quality. Finally, remember that the goal of decluttering isn't just to make your space look neat; it’s about creating a functional and stress-free environment. You can maintain this sense of order by routinely re-evaluating the contents of your bins and adjusting as necessary, especially as seasons and needs change. Embrace the decluttering journey—each small step brings you closer to a less stressful, more organized living space.
