list to start decluttering a home office for a very accumulator person

Gather necessary cleaning supplies (trash bags, storage bins, cleaning products, etc.)

Set aside dedicated time to focus on decluttering the home office

Prepare mental and emotional mindset for letting go of unnecessary items

Start with one area of the office (e.g., desk, shelves, drawers) and work systematically

Create four categories for items: Keep, Donate/Sell, Trash, Unsure

Sort through each item in the chosen area and place them in the appropriate category

Be honest with yourself about the usefulness and necessity of each item

Clear out the items in the "Trash" category immediately

Take the items in the "Donate/Sell" category and set them aside for future action

Assess the items in the "Unsure" category and make a decision on each within a designated timeframe

Begin organizing the items in the "Keep" category in a logical and efficient manner

Consider using storage bins, organizers, or shelves to maximize space and keep things tidy

Gather all loose papers and documents in the office

Sort them into categories such as bills, important documents, receipts, etc.

Shred or recycle any unnecessary or outdated paperwork

Create a filing system for the remaining important documents and papers

Digitize important paperwork if possible to reduce clutter

Identify any outdated or non-functional electronics

Dispose of old electronics responsibly (check local e-waste recycling options)

Untangle and organize cables and cords using cable organizers or labels

Assess the need for additional storage solutions (shelves, cabinets, organizers)

Purchase necessary storage items to maintain an organized home office

Utilize storage solutions effectively to keep items in designated places

Develop a routine for regular decluttering and maintenance of the home office

Set aside specific time intervals (weekly, monthly, quarterly) for decluttering sessions

Continuously reassess items in the office to prevent accumulation of unnecessary things

Remember, decluttering is an ongoing process, so do not get overwhelmed. Take it one step at a time and celebrate small victories along the way!
