Let’s be honest, everyone has a junk drawer. But me? I have a whole junk cupboard. My cupboard under the stairs, to be precise. And while I’ve tried on many occasions to part ways with the clutter and junk that lives under there, none have been quite as effective as the 5-second decluttering rule.
Yep, I’m no stranger to the many decluttering methods out there, but I often find that they’re best used when they’re room or area-specific. For example, I swear by the Project 333 decluttering method for my wardrobe, and the four-box decluttering method was ideal for sorting out the junk that was underneath my bed. But I struggle with my under-the-stairs junk cupboard because it’s a whole cacophony of random stuff.
