This is a great weekend to de-clutter and make a year end donation to Goodwill or other similar organization.
1. Are you having problems finding a place to put the new Christmas gifts?
2. Do you plan to sell your home in the very near future?
3. Do you still have unpacked moving boxes from your last move?
4. Can you park in your garage?
5. Does your closet resemble a fashion museum?
6. Are your kitchen cabinets and drawers packed with things that you never use?
If any of the above applies to you, consider making a year-end donation to Goodwill or a similar organization.
Having problems getting started? It is really easy. Pick the most cluttered area in your house. Quickly look at what you have. If you haven’t worn the item this year, donate it. If you haven’t used the item this year, donate it. If you don’t like it, donate it. If it is broken, throw it away. Don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it. Just do it. Once you get going, you may find yourself wanting to de-clutter other areas.
If you commit to making the donation by next Tuesday, December 31:
- You will be starting the New Year with a less cluttered house.
- Your donation could also be used as a charitable tax contribution deduction for 2013 if you itemize your tax return.
