The First Thing I'm Decluttering in 2026 (It's So Easy!)
"Today's assignment is simple: You'll be decluttering just one spot in your home, followed by setting up your outbox to hold all your "maybe" items, aka the things you're not sure what to do with (you'll decide what to do with all of those later). Choose one spot in your home that needs some decluttering (something you feel can be done in one session),"
"such as a basket in your living room that's been collecting items all week, a junk drawer that's so stuffed it can barely close, or the chair in your bedroom with clothes piled on top of it. Once you've picked your spot, set aside 15 to 30 minutes dedicated solely to decluttering it. Start by taking everything out or off of that one spot. Then, clean the area."
January Cure offers a free 20-day program with daily assignments to refresh the home for the year ahead. Day 1 directs a focused decluttering task: choose one manageable spot and set up an outbox for uncertain items. Select a spot that can be finished in one session, such as a living-room basket, an overstuffed junk drawer, or a chair piled with clothes. Spend 15 to 30 minutes removing everything, cleaning the area, and sorting items to toss, recycle, or relocate. Return kept items to their proper places, recycle and discard trash, and place undecided items in the outbox to decide later. The approach creates quick, manageable wins to build momentum for organizing other areas.
