Then you can pull it up on your phone and know what to tackle next! A Little Caveat If having it on your phone would be easier, simply save it to your phone or take screenshots of each page. If you prefer pen and paper and checking things off, you can print the list and keep it in a central area of your home where you can consult it easily. One of the ways I do that is by using my margins to declutter. However, all of those short little bits of time can really add up! So rather than fill them with mindless scrolling, I have been trying to fill them more intentionally. If youвЂ™re like me, my automatic reaction in these little periods of margin is to pick up my phone and scroll through Instagram or play a quick game. Or for our favorite show to come on TV.ДЄll of these short waiting periods create bits of margin in our days. Maybe weвЂ™re waiting for an email response we need. Or for our spouse to get home from work so we can leave for a family activity. Maybe weвЂ™re waiting for the oven to preheat. Or for the dryer to finish so we can fold the laundry. Maybe weвЂ™re waiting for our kids to get their shoes on. IвЂ™m so glad you asked! Margins are those little bits of time we have throughout our day, usually when weвЂ™re waiting for something.

But there is one giant misconception about decluttering and organizing that I want to make sure I clear up right now.Д®veryone thinks that you have to clear a big, long chunk of time out of your schedule in order to get organized.
