5 Daily Challenges to Simplify Your Life

This week is National Simplify Your Life week, and while there seems to be a holiday for everything these days, we felt like this was one worth celebrating. Each day this week, we’ve provided on way you can simplify your life.

Day 1: Monday, August 1st

The first is to clean out your closet, and we mean really clean it out! Make three piles (a keep pile, a sell pile, and a donate pile), and if you can’t decide to keep an item in 10 seconds, plan to give it away! You’ll be surprised how much relief minimizing your clutter will give you. Let us know how it goes!

Day 2: Tuesday, August 2nd

On Day 2, we challenge you to go through your email and click “unsubscribe” on the sales emails and ads you never open anyway. A less cluttered inbox = less stress for you.

Day 3: August 3rd

On day 3, we invite you to clean out your car. Bring down two trash bags and collect all of the trash that’s been hiding in your car. If you’re like us, you probably spend a lot of time in your car. The cleaner it is, the more relaxed you’ll be traveling from A to B.

Day 4: Thursday, August 4th

On day 4, we challenge you to do the dreaded task of tackling your junk drawer. We all have them, and we all ignore them. Open your drunk drawer (or closet), give away items you don’t need, throw away trash and find a sensible place to store everything else.

Day 5: August 5th

Today is the 5th and final day of our Simplify Your Life Challenge. So far, we’ve challenged you to clean out your closet, clean your car, organize your inbox and tackle your junk drawer. Today, we invite you to clean out your pantry and refrigerator. Throw away stale and expired items, disinfect the shelves, and reorganize the items in a sensible way.
