Decluttering is a hard and long process.

What do you do for a quick win, a boost?

Clean off the fridge, notes and expired coupons? Deal with the junk drawer? Clear off the kitchen counter?

I like to gather and return library books. We usually have 10 or so and even just returning these picture books can open up space to put the rest of the picture books away, off the floor and a bit more organized.

Clean off the sofa. It's sort of a dumping ground during the week (I don't sit on it unless I have to - it's high on the list of things to get replaced soon) and it always looks so nice once it's cleared off and the blankets covering it have been straightened.

Pick things off the table just inside the entrance, where I dump my purse, the mail, and anything else I bring in. It is also the place to put things to take out to some other place. Needless to say things collect there. Working through that stuff makes for actual achievement and finishing small projects as well as a clear table for a few hours.

Make sure all the dirty dishes are in the dishwasher.

Go through the paper that has accumulated everywhere, and find something to throw out. Or try and clear the kitchen counter.
