Declutter & Simplify: Get Started with these 2 Free Tools

TAKE THIS QUIZ:

1) Did you have a New Year's resolution to simplify?
2) Are you looking for a good project to keep you warm and active inside during the cold weather?
3) Do you have  stuff you no longer need that it's cluttering your space?
4) Do you have good items you know could be put to good use?
5) Do you want to help your community and help save the environment?

If you said YES to one or more of these questions, we have good news. You only need two simple things to get started:

1) The Declutter & Do Good Checklist, below, will help you go through your things to find the hidden treasures most needed by organizations.

2) DonateGoodStuff.org shows you specific local organizations that need what you have.

The most important step is to take a step, even if it is a small one.
Start with just one area and go through the checklist below for that space. Set all items you no longer need aside in reused bags or boxes. Search for specific items or categories of items on DonateGoodStuff.org where you will find where and when to bring your items.

The best way to stay on top of stuff is to make decluttering a regular habit. Try starting each month or season out by doing one room or area. This will keep your space fresh, and ensures that stuff you don't need gets used. It is good for the community and your carbon footprint.
