Welcome back to 31 Days of Easy Decluttering! Throughout this series I'm sharing easy decluttering projects that you can complete in 10-15 minutes. If you do them, then by the end of the month you'll be enjoying a less cluttered home!
If you've missed any of the previous posts, there are links to them all at the end of this post.
Some days you may not need to spend much time on on the task, if you've already kept that space clutter free. Or maybe you just need to take a quick sweep of the area to remove a few things. If that's the case then you can take it easy for a day, or go back and finish another project in the series!
Today's Easy Decluttering Project
Today we're decluttering coffee tables. AKA clutter magnets! Remotes, magazines, mail, newspapers, pens, toys, books, tablets, and all sorts of other things are drawn to a flat surface like a coffee table.
I mean it's right there in the middle of your living room or family room... just waiting for stuff to be dumped on it, isn't it?!
But all that stuff on the table becomes visual clutter. It's stressful. And then things get buried under other things and you have to waste time searching for them. Or bills are forgotten and you have to pay late fees.
If you don't have a coffee table, you probably have another surface in your living room or family room that is cluttered. Maybe an end table, entertainment unit, mantle, or even the floor!
