Whatever time you have to dedicate to decluttering, there might not be a better target with a higher return on investment than the bathroom.
Any amount of time you can dedicate to streamlining your bathroom storage will pay you back times ten when it comes to making it easier to get ready in the morning, and to tuck yourself in before bed. It’s about making sure you don’t have to dig through a container full of lipstick to find the one shade you love to wear, and that you never slather your entire face with sunscreen before realizing it’s expired.
Today, we’ll do a quick 20-minute sweep of the bathroom to see exactly how a very small investment of time now can pay off handsomely in the days and nights to come.
Day 12: Declutter the bathroom for 20 minutes.
Set a timer for 20 minutes and use that time to clear as much clutter out of your bathroom as possible. Take a laundry basket or another similar container with you to quickly collect anything that’s out of place.
If you have more than one bathroom, focus on the one you use the most often.
When your timer runs out, take all of the things you collected and either sort them into the trash or recycling, or set them into your boxes to be donated, given away or sold.
