Welcome to the 30-Day Organize-athon!
In today’s 5 minutes we’re going to organize your bedside table or nightstand.
Cool – let’s do it.
Day 24: Organize Your Bedside Area
Step 1: Remove anything from your bedside area that detracts from a sense of calm and tranquility, such as:
- Computers, printers, laptops
- TV
- Paperwork
- Kids’ toys
- Exercise equipment
- Work projects
- Mobile phone
- Laundry
- Too many books
- Too many magazines
- Excess furniture
- Random clothes
- Unpleasant alarm.
Step 2: Toss or donate anything you don’t need or love.
Step 3: Relocate anything that belongs elsewhere.
And you’re done!
Got an Extra 5 Minutes?
Create a sanctuary around your bed. Add any of these to help create a relaxing, sleep-inviting space:
- Lovely bed linen
- Fluffy pillows
- Cozy blankets and comforters
- Soft lamps
- Pleasant bedtime reading
- Relaxing music and iPod dock
- Water glass and bottle
- A gentle alarm
- Sleeping mask – if the sun disturbs you in the early morning
- Ear plugs – if you need them
- Scented candles or oil burner.
*yawns* Nap time anyone?

Task #24 done!
I actually did this yesterday! Done. Thank you and Happy Easter to all.
This is kinda weird, but I don’t have a bedside area. I have a sidecar crib in the way.
Mostly done. Just recently moved into new bedroom and last night spilled a large glass of tea, so did a clean up just last night!! Just gonna move the laptop and tiny.
Thanks! Happy Easter!
Only thing beside my sleeping area was my Kindle, and it’s been put away. Done!
done, I keep this area clear, weekly when i clean the room.
Ugh…Done 🙂
Done! Yea! 🙂
It’s like you were in my room! LOL! Thanks for this one–it is one I don’t usually take care of. Happy Easter!
Done 😀
Funny thing, I worked on this last night before I went to bed so didn’t have much left to do!!!!
done!
I keep my bedside, and the rest of the bedroom clear of everything that is unnecessary. I even got rid of the tv a few weeks ago.
Hubby just rearranged bedside, so this was mostly done! Down to one book on the top!
done
That was an easy one. We don’t have bedside tables, and our bedroom is a beautiful sanctuary. Done.
This was very needed!
This one was simple…this is an on show area…always looks spectacular! 🙂
Done – or at least mostly… The TV is still there, and since the mobile phone is my alarm clock, I need it there at night. But the other things are done 🙂
Luckily, I just redid my bedroom. This one is already done. Good thing, I am going to spend the day celebrating Easter!
