Day 12: Declutter Your Car’s Glove Box
Step 1: Grab a bag and get into your car. Empty your glove box onto the seat beside you.

- Wet wipes
- First aid items.
Step 3: Toss into the bag:
- Yucky tissues

- Food remnants
- Anything you don’t need or use.
Step 4: Throw your bag into the trash.
And you’re done!

That felt good!
Day 12. Wow, I had coupons in there over a year old……… Thank you for giving me this task.
Done. Got my hubby to do this one, since I hardly see our car during the week b/c of working times…
I needed every single car repair bill and expired insurance card since 2008!!! NOT! Thanks for this; it’s all done. 🙂
My husband and I cook alot so we regularly reorganize to suit our current cooking adventures. I was still able to use your good tips and came away with some items to donate. Thanks, again!
NOTE: I am a bit confused about where to post my comments. The tasks itemized at the end of the current day’s tasks don’t generally match so I just choose one and post at the end of it. I hope that’s okay. Thanks!
I had a few minutes to spare, waiting in the van, so I cleared the glove box & the box I use to store other supplies. So nice to even be organized in the car!
Was in a car accident, so I dont have a glove box – but I purged the box that is holding all the items I had in my car that way its all nice and neat when I am blessed with a new car –
wow, it had been way too long since that’s been done! Done!
My glove box only holds the necessary papers – I never put anything else in there. So I do not have to do this one. So I forgot to post that it was ‘done!’
done
Gloveboxes cleared! Whoo hoo!
already nice and clean!
Did this last night. Forgot to post here. Haha.
Day #12 Done!!
Yeah ditto, nice easy one! Done with ease.
Can I share a tip? Just remember, it is preparedness, not an invitation for anything!
I am updating mine tomorrow – I keep two sheets of paper in my car with my personal details, current car insurance policy number and vehicle registration details. At the bottom of that page is a space for another driver to record their details, and a rough map of the vehicle incident is able to be drawn on the reverse.. You can exchange details easily!
So if you are unfortunate enough to be involved in a MV incident, you are prepared without any hassle. You may also like to note details such as ICE (in case of emergency contact person), your blood group and any medication allergies. Add any details you want, but consider you will be exchanging details…so I keep this on a separate sheet in my glovebox.
Done. Nice easy one,
Done!
Complete — I do this task weekly. Otherwise my car would be a disaster.
Had to fill up the tank today so did this at the gas station!
Missed this yesterday, but we just bought a new truck so it’s empty!
