Decluttering takes time. It also takes some work. But there are certain things you may have lying around that you can get rid of today. These are items that you likely won't miss having around. Saying goodbye to them will be the jumpstart for your decluttering process.

Start with any unnecessary paper items. Old magazines and newspapers, scraps of gift wrap, price tags removed from clothing, takeout menus, and junk mail are great places to begin. Anything made out of paper that is not getting used should make its way to the recycling bin immediately.

Look through any crafting paper that you might have that is too small to be functional. As a crafter, I give you permission to say farewell to those tiny scraps of paper/cardstock. Not every scrap needs to be used.

How many pens and other writing instruments are you hanging on to? Get rid of your surplus and start fresh. Look through your stash and keep only the ones that are your favorites to write with. Donate the rest.

Poke through your costume jewelry. Is something broken or looking tarnished? Are there necklaces, bracelets, or rings that you never wear anymore? Are you hoping to find that one earring you lost several months ago? All of these are never going to see the light of day anymore. Get rid of them.

The main point is to just get started. Quit hanging onto things for a rainy day that you know, in your heart of hearts, will never come. You may find that clearing some space in your home also helps clear some space in your mind. Ready, set, go.
