Clear the Clutter Challenge Day 22: Back to the Books and Movies

July 7, 2016 by Beth

We visited our movie/book stash early on in the challenge, but it’s time to go back!  Challenge Day 22 asks us to find 10 more books and/or movies that we can stand to part with.  This is hard, y’all!!

Most people know by now that I have a really hard time letting go of books and movies.  Most especially, the books!  When it comes right down to it, it’s all about priorities.  Do I want to sit in the house with plenty of books to read and movies to watch?  Or do I want to have more time and money to travel with my family and make memories?  I will take my family, thank you very much!

Clear the Clutter Challenge Day 22: Back to the Books and Movies www.thatonemom.com

To Do:

  • Go through book shelves, drawers, and cabinets and find any and all books.  Put them in one central location.
  • Do the same with all movies.
  • Sort through the books and movies and find at least 10 to give away or sell.
  • Make a list of any you might like to reread or watch and plan on borrowing from a friend/family member or the library.

Organizational Tips:

  • Copy DVDs to an external hard drive so that you can watch them without so much clutter.
  • Buy or borrow digital books and save buying hard copies only for special books or occasions.
  • Designate an area just for movies and an area just for books–create a media shelf or closet if possible.
  • Use books as decorations.
  • Use a pull-out drawer, trundle (minus the mattress), or suitcase to store movies and/or books under the bed.
  • Use baskets or crates to store books/movies in the open.
  • Put books and movies out for guests if you have a guest room.
  • Check out my Organize Me board on Pinterest for more organizing ideas.

As much as I would love to keep every book and movie that comes through these doors, it’s just not feasible.  Even though I dream about having “hidden” bookshelf doors in my house, I don’t think it’s going to happen.  And as much as I adore reading books and watching movies, I adore the idea of living a clutter-free life so much more!

Do you love books?  Do you collect movies?  Do you have too many?  Join the Clear the Clutter Challenge and take back  your space!
