    • This includes actual trash.
    • Broken items.
    • Stained items.
    • Ripped items.
    • Unusable items.
  • Take any items you can readily see that belong in a different area and put them away.
    • If there are many items, create groups for each area that items need to be relocated to and then make one trip to relocate them.
  • Select items you can readily see and immediately know you can donate.
    • Have a box or large bag already marked as “donate” and place items in the box.
    • Schedule a time to drop those donate items off in the next 5 days. Don’t let it become a box of clutter in your home.
  • Begin grouping like items together.
    • Group all similar items together.
    • This allows you to see how many of each you have. You can then decide how many you really need and declutter the extras.
    • Consider how much space you have when you determine how many you really need.
  • Step back and reassess. Is there anything else you can remove from the space?
