DAY 1 Purge your closet.

Figure out what stays and what goes by removing any garment that’s showing wear and items that are more than two sizes too big or too small. Toss anything you haven’t worn in a year.

DAY 2 Tackle the junk drawer. Organize your catchall drawer by removing everything that doesn’t serve a purpose. Toss expired coupons, receipts and seldom-used items. Move medical supplies like bandages to a first aid kit. Use a drawer organizer to keep notepaper, tape, scissors, pens and other supplies at your fingertips.

DAY 3 Streamline kitchen counters. Mount a magnetic spice rack and hooks for elevating small tools and lightweight pans so they’re off the countertop. Extend available space with racks for stacking plates or baskets that hang underneath shelves to corral cups, small bowls or serving pieces.
