#82 - How to Declutter Before the Holidays (3 Things to Tackle Now) | Solo Tidy Dad

Before the gifts, decorations, and toys start piling up, let’s make a little space. And no, I’m not suggesting a massive weekend decluttering spree. Instead, I’m sharing three categories that actually make sense to declutter right now, not just because they’ll free up space in your home, but because other people are looking for these items now.

In this episode of Tidy Tidbits, we’re talking about seasonal decluttering, the Great Toy Edit, and why timing matters when it comes to letting things go.

Pre-Holiday Decluttering Checklist:

* Dress-Up Clothes & Holiday Outfits (before Halloween and holiday parties)

* Winter Gear (before the first cold and snowy day of winter)

* The Great Toy Edit (before you open any new holiday toy gifts)

The goal isn’t to declutter everything at once. It’s to thoughtfully assess what you have, make space for what’s coming, and pass things along at a time when someone else can actually use them.

You can download our family’s Decluttering Calendar HERE, and it also includes a blank decluttering calendar you can fill out with your own categories if you prefer!
