Purging Organizing

Purge means get rid of your shit.
Be ruthless. If you didn’t wear that
summer dress in 2021, chances are you
won’t in 2022. Pack it up and donate it.
The mental health benefits of clearing
your space of junk compounds as you
move through your home. You will not
regret it. You cannot clean baseboards
if you can’t find them.
Please be mindful that this stuff does
not end up in a landfill. You don’t need
3 blenders, if they are in good working

Once you have purged, organizing is
easy. You can organize by colour or
size. We like to organize most used
items first, put those in the easiest to
access drawers, cabinets, etc.
Kids items should go on the lower
level shelves/drawers so they can
reach things easily and not ask for
help! We are all about making life
easier for you.

order donate 2 to your local second

hand store.

Remember that our system is one room at a time. This challenge is eight weeks long.
We gave you lots of time because we know you have busy lives. Take breaks. Do not
overwhelm yourselves. Make your family help (or get rid of them).
