Simplify Your Life Quick Tip #2: Have a Ready-For-Donation Basket

Place a decent-sized box, bag or basket somewhere handy – like on a shelf in a hallway closet or in the laundry.

Choose somewhere:

  • convenient – so it’s easy to put things in there
  • out of view – so your home stays tidy.

Any time you notice something you don’t use or love in your home, wardrobe, car or office, simply pop it in your donation basket. When the basket gets full, bag the contents and place them in your car to drop off at your local charity store or bin.

Even if you’ve recently gotten rid of stuff or de-cluttered your home, it won’t take long before you find your donation stash accumulating – and your life getting simpler.

Do you have an system for keeping your life free of excess stuff? Please share!

I love this tip- in fact I have a whole donation cupboard waiting for the church garagesale every spring. They get lots of stuff so they are happy to make more money- I am giving to a good cause and i am decluttered. Its a home run! Betty-ann http://www.stillettochick.typepad.com
