Resolutions: Cleaning Out

Following the trend, now lets say your goal is decluttering.

Well first step is deciding what you hate and want gone.


Easy enough.  Surely you have SOMETHING on those lines... Like the shoes that look good when your drunk..


Second:  Things that no longer fit.

Baby clothes, shoes that dont fit (and never will again) after pregnancy, shoes that NEVER fit, clothes from before you lost weight, ect.

I know somethings may have value to you, so either invest in space bags for them or find something useful for them.  Memory quilts are pretty popular.



Third:  What is never used?  Dont club anymore?  Then lets toss that stuff or regift it to those that still do.  Same can be said for old sports and camping gear.  Like a tent... If you have a RV then why are you keeping a tent you wont use?  For that matter lets see the kitchen... You got a counter top oven, blender, and toaster that never get used.  Thats alot of space to make up.  Find a place to store them or donate/sell.

know some stuff in your house/apt you dont need?



Next lets box this stuff up and decide how to best put it to use again.  If its still new, fashionable and desired?  Well if you got the will try selling on facebook, yard sales, or craigslist.  Just be careful about inviting strangers to your home.

If selling isnt appealing then donate.  Theres plenty to find and most will pick up nearby or at your home.  Plus its not bad for taxes.  It all adds up!


Worse case, set it outside near the trash, not in it.  Someone is watching and they'll take it.  One mans trash is another mans treasure.


So good luck with your decluttering!
