25 things in your home that a professional organizer would make you consider eliminating

As a professional organizer, I’ve noticed a pattern in the types of items that tend to accumulate and create chaos in our homes. And here’s the good news: many of these items are ones you won’t even miss once they’re gone! 🙌🏻

It’s totally normal to have these around, and you’re definitely not alone in this. The best part? There’s no need to toss them out—donating these items can help clear your space and benefit someone in need! 😍
