The Dunmow Decluttering Swift Sort - First Aid & Medicines

The Dunmow Decluttering Swift Sort - Inspiration for a quick declutter and organise!

In today's post I'm taking a look at medicines and first aid supplies.

• Set a timer for 20 minutes and clear a space at a table or worktop.

• Check in each room of your home, inside drawers and cupboards and find all of your medicine and first aid supplies. Bring them all together in one space.

• Check each individual item carefully - is it in date, is it necessary, is it a duplicate? Set aside unused or unwanted medicines for safe disposal.

• Once you've sorted through each of the items, think about whether you need to stock up on any items - different medications are used in different seasons and what you might need in Spring, may not be what you needed in winter. Try to think ahead a couple of months and look at what supplies you may need.

• If your medication isn't needed on a daily basis, consider having a secure first aid container to keep everything together and easily accessible, particularly in an emergency.

• Once the supplies have been organised, try to set aside just a few minutes each month to review your supplies, safely dispose of old ones if necessary and plan ahead for what may be needed.

Happy Organising!
