Donate to Charity

If you want to get rid of some of your belongings but think it’s shame to throw them out, then consider donating them to charities and those less fortunate than yourself. Items such as clothes (still in good condition), children’s toys and old furniture are in high demand by most charities. This solution clears out your home while also helping others, giving you the best of both worlds.

Gift items to others

We probably all know people who are moving into their first home or apartment who can use some of the extra items in your house. We also all probably know someone who can use the clothes we don’t wear. Do some good in the world with your clutter by gifting extra items to those you love. Look to get rid of the really big items first, of course!

Organize

Sometimes it’s not a matter of how much stuff you have but how you have it organized. If you are a fan of Marie Kondo, then now is time to sit down, follow her words of wisdom and organise every inch of your home. You might be able to make more room for your items if you give yourself more shelves and other organizational items to help keep things where they belong. Organising your belongings down to each individual draw as Marie Kondo suggests, can also help you determine what things don’t necessarily fit in your organizational system and what needs to go.

Look through your items to find things that are broken, stained, or incomplete. Dispose of these items in the proper way. Don’t tell yourself that you will repair these items.
