Making Donation Decisions

Are your closets stuffed full?  You want to de-clutter but are having a tough time making decisions?  Consider this idea.

Set up a “Ready to Let Go” Lay-A-Way.

The idea is to use time to help you make decisions.

Take those items that have you waffling and put the in a box. At the end of your time de-clutering close up the box, label with with today’s date and put it out of the way (like the garage). If in a month you can’t remember what is in the box, you know these items are ready to go. You might cheat a little and have a look inside, but be super critical and make sure that you remind yourself that you already forgot about these things…it is time for them to go.

Having trouble making these decisions yourself?

Get an organizing buddy.  This could be a friend or relative,  but be sure it is someone who will be kind and objective.
