Decluttering & Organising the Junk Drawe...

Shelina Jokhiya - DeCluttr Me
About this episode

Welcome back to 'Get Organised with Decluttr Me'. I'm your host, Shelina, and in today's episode, we're tackling a common clutter hotspot: the junk drawer.

Join me as we embark on the first session of our mini-declutter series. We'll explore why junk drawers become clutter magnets and how to transform them into functional spaces. From preparing your sorting tools to the final touches of organising, I'll guide you through each step, ensuring you have a neat and tidy drawer by the end of our time together.

In this episode, we’ll discuss why junk drawers exist and how they reflect our busy lifestyles. We'll delve into the common items that end up in these drawers and how to categorise them effectively. I’ll share my favourite tips and tricks for decluttering, including using drawer dividers and repurposed containers to keep everything in its place. Plus, we’ll cover the importance of regular maintenance to prevent clutter from creeping back in.

I am thrilled to have you with me on this decluttering journey. Whether you’re a long-time listener or tuning in for the first time, your support means the world to me. If you find this episode helpful, please subscribe, like, or follow the podcast on your preferred platform and share it with friends. Your reviews and shares help us reach more people and inspire them to take control of their spaces.

Also, don't forget to take a before-and-after photo of your junk drawer. It’s always motivating to see the transformation and it can encourage everyone in your household to keep the drawer organised.

If you would like to buy any items I mentioned in the episode, you can find them in my Amazon shop (currently for UAE, UK or USA Amazon shops).

Tune in, get motivated, and let’s conquer that junk drawer together.

Happy organising!


Thanks as always Shelina
