Sundays can go one of two ways - really productive, or really not.

If you want to avoid the latter today, why not take the opportunity to have a clear out. It’ll be Christmas before we know it so the sooner you get rid of all your old rubbish the easier it will be in the new year!

Here are some reasons you should clear out your junk today.

You'll feel accomplished

What’s better than coming home from a long shift and remembering you have nothing to do around the house? Ok, this might only last a couple of days (depending on how messy you are) but it’s a great feeling. If you are in a cleaner, tidyer and un-cluttered environment, you feel so much better in yourself! Fact!

You can help people in need

What are you doing with all that old stuff? Taking it to the charity shop is the correct answer.

Summer is over so you might be done with your shorts and t-shirts - but don’t just chuck them out or leave them to fester at the back of your wardrobe! If you’re not going to wear them again do the right thing by environment and society and take them to the charity shop!

Make some money

So maybe you don’t want to take a couple of things to the charity shop because you paid quite a bit for them. That’s ok too. Download an app like Depop or Shpock and list them! There is always somebody looking to buy something similar, so you could make a bit of quick cash!

Have a change

Have you been thinking about swapping that picture frame on the bedroom wall for the clock in the living room? Whilst you’re freshening the place up, why not have a swap around and give your home a different edge? It will feel like you’ve done loads more, even if you haven't!

Start the week with a different mindset

Knowing you spent your weekend doing something productive will make you feel better and more organised for the week ahead.

So what more are you waiting for? Take a couple of hours to have a clear out of all that old junk!
