Everything from electronics to cosmetics…it is time to MINIMALIZE…these are what I call “cloggers” they clog your house and take up your elbow room, causing anxiety and stress without you even realizing it!
You can do many things with them once you identify what and where they are….
Here's how it works ~
1) Quit procrastinating - actually “do” something with them, like reading the fax machine manual and setting it up in your office. Call the T.V. repair guy.
2) Turn trash into treasure - you can sell them in a garage sale or resale shop. Some resale shops take more than just clothes…and there are places now that will actually take your “garage sale” items and sell them for you giving you a percent of the sale.
3) Make someone’s day - you can choose to donate/give away the items to others who need or will use them. One phone call is all it takes for Purple Heart to come directly to your house, back a truck into your driveway, load up everything and leave you will a receipt. Many churches have opportunity’s to give stuff away. Some one less fortunate would love your third coffee maker and you could always borrow one from a friend if you ever get around to throwing that huge party!
How to get started –
1. Get a big box and start geographically working through you house…Just tackle small bits of space at a time and work from room to room in order to be thorough! Get it all out…old purses, stationary, books, kitchen gadgets, everything…
2. Sort through the box or boxes and decide which of the three above options works best and get busy…either utilize it, plan the next garage sale or get on the phone with Purple heart! What ever you decide the key is to get it OUT!!!!
3. Enjoy the space and simplification of your house…even if you can’t see the difference, you will feel the difference when the cloggers are gone…trust me… just knowing that TV is gone from the closet under the stairs will make all the difference in the world!
