    1. Great question! If you hover at the top of the pin (once you are on a specific board), there will be a pencil in the top right corner. Click that and you can edit the pin or board from there. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions!

  1. This is great! I started semi-decluttering my pinterest last fall – but got overwealmed! Ill especially follow the one with deleting pins. Also one should check all the pins to make sure they lead to the correct source 🙂

    1. Thank you! I had a major problem with some of the pins I pinned from my organizing blog onto Pinterest – they did not lead to the right source. That took a lot of work to fix them, but it was worth it in the end! Thanks for sharing!

  2. Nice post! Sometimes I like the process of organizing my boards more than pinning! Every season (if not more often) I find myself changing the covers on each board too. It's like redecorating the house.

    1. I know you can reorder your boards by just clicking on the board and dragging it towards the top. As for figuring out what is most referred, that I am unsure about yet. If I find out, I will let you know 🙂

    2. I thought when reading Pamelalala's comment that 'my most referred-to ones' meant the boards that she looked at or pinned to the most.

  3. These are great tips! I just started deleting some pins once I had read them and realized that I wouldn't have a future need for the info. No reason to keep stuff that you won't be needing to refer back to later!

    1. Hi Morgan! You are so right – figuring out which ones you will actually use, helps in the decluttering process! I realized that some pins aren't even "me," so why would I pin them? Thanks for your comment Morgan!

  4. Great ideas. I always try to go back on pins I've used and add comments so I can remember if I need to tweak if any, and what I would change for next time. And delete any that were a complete fail.

  5. Good tips. I love Pinterest! I have organized my boards before but have found they get cluttered and discombobulated as I add pins. As with any organization project, the set up is the fun and easy part. Maintaining is a whole other story. I love pinning so much that I've spent what seems like minutes on Pinterest only to look up at the clock and find it's been hours. Needless to say my productivity and priorities are a mess. So I came up with a couple new rules for myself. 1. Only fifteen minutes a day on Pinterest. Usually while I have my morning coffee. 2. Pin only things I'm really going to use. Such as a recipe for dinner this week. Rather than "oh, that tiny crocheted moused is so cute! I must pin it!" I don't need a tiny crocheted mouse, furthermore I don't. Crochet. 3. Most importantly: use Pinterest as a tool, not entertainment. This keeps my boards cleaner and puts my pins and time to better use.

    1. Thanks for sharing these tips Ann! You shared some very practical ideas and I like how you said you use Pinterest as a tool versus as entertainment. Great rule of thumb! Thanks for sharing!
