I like habit-stacking, so I pair my decluttering with an existing habit. I have quite an elaborate bedtime routine which I cultivated in the last 5 years. It usually runs about 75-90min.
When go about my routine, I make it a point to find at least ONE thing that’s “leaving soon.”
At, Mudita, we have this Slack channel where (it’s mostly the ladies who work here) exchange cosmetics, shampoos/conditioners, creams etc which they purchased but for some reason don’t like or they’re not working for them.
I also have a “leaving soon” bag in my bedroom- every time I put away laundry, I put something in there. Whether it’s something that has to be discarded (like socks with a hole) or something I just don’t wear anymore & it can be donated.
My favorite month is January- because I turn the DECLUTTERING up to 11 
On Jan 1st- I get rid of one thing. On Jan 2nd, I get rid of 2 things, on Jan 3rd, three things go bye-bye, and so on! On January 31st, thirty-one things go.
Digital clutter counts too. So I count deleting old screenshots, emails & other files I’ve kept stored for some reason.
When Feb rolls around, It feels really good.
Another mindful switch I made is using fountain pens. The kind you refill yourself. It really cuts down on random pens around the house & it makes me more aware of my writing instruments. I am very aware if where I leave them & how I use them because they are not cheap to replace.
