Decluttering tips 6/24

Have the following items handy when decluttering:

1. Trash can.........key to getting rid of trash right away
2. to put away bin
3. give away bin

In my case, of possibly moving within the next 6 months, I will also need:
1. storage bins (hopefully not too many, want to get rid of as much as possible)
2. permanent marker (to label bins)
3. spiral notebook and pen(to inventory bins)

I will also keep a list of these bins on my computer for quick searches.

I will label my storage bins by room & #. Ex. MBR-1; MBR-2 Or MBA-1; MBA-2

Anything not used within the past 6 months can most likely go.

Time to Get Rid of the Clutter

We are working hard to start looking at a house to buy by the end of the year. So, I do not want to be moving anything that I don't have to.

I have already got a box and 3 black trash bags of stuff from the kitchen ready to freecycle. That's just the beginning. I want to get rid of tons of stuff. Plus, the shed is loaded with bins that need to be gone through. I really need to be tough with that stuff, most of it can go.

My goal (starting tomorrow...too wet outside right now), is to go through at least one bin a day until they are all done. I want to get rid of at least 3/4 of the stuff in there.

Does anyone want to join me? I will try to post some decluttering tips along the way. Let the decluttering begin..................
