While it may seem like the new year is the best time to start your life anew, it doesn’t have to be. Beginning your home cleanliness resolutions before 2024 rolls around will set you up for success and make staying on track with these resolutions much easier in the new year! Additionally, decluttering your home before the holiday season will ensure that your celebrations at home will be the most enjoyable yet.
Consider these November home reset tips to help you avoid a holiday season of clutter!
Seasonal Decor
As we begin the shift to a new season full of holiday hosting, colder temperatures, and endless gift-giving, take the time this month to declutter any extra baggage! As you pack away decor from the fall and bring out your favorite Christmas decorations, make sure that you discard any old, broken, or unwanted items.
Kitchen Items
With the season of holiday baking quickly approaching, November is the perfect time to declutter the kitchen. Ensure that anything in your pantry is not expired, check spices and refrigerated items for freshness, and toss anything in your freezer that is out of date. Consider donating any unnecessary items to your favorite nonprofits this month as you unpack your seasonal kitchen supplies.
School Supplies
Be honest – did you overbuy for the new school year? Do you have unused packs of pencils, notebooks, and art supplies that your kids never even touched? Now that we’re well into a new season, it’s essential to either store these supplies for the next school year or consider donating them for the holidays!
