When your starting out the task to declutter your stuff, you need to ask yourself three key questions:
After 25 minutes of activity, you may want to refresh your mind with the answers to the above questions. I find this technique useful, because while you declutter you tend to zone out and focus on why you have the stuff instead of how can you keep this stuff. If you have old monitors, TVs and Microwaves, check your local town for special recycle weekends. You can recycle some of your unused electronics for free. Notes:

In the world of decluttering, one way to help get a better place is to understand the Realization Principle: Realization Principle - Vision what you want, and then make it happen. How do you want the room to look, then removed everything from the room til it looks exactly how you want it.I usually get several boxes and dump everything into those boxes. After the room looks exact how I want it. I justify why I should keep the things in the boxes.

![]() If you have boxes or bins in your basement or attic, you should label the contents so that its easy to find things later on. This is pretty obvious, but most people don't do it and they pay the price when it comes time to look for things. Use White Duct Tape You should tape one side and the top of the box so that its easy to identify stacked storage containers. Also be sure to label exactly what's in the box, saying "Christmas Decorations" isn't too vague. A better solution would be, "Snowmen and Raindeer for fireplace." The more descriptive you are to what's in the container the better off you will be to finding what your looking for. Boxes of Books

This past weekend we did some serious cleaning in our apartment, here's what were able to accomplish:
Overall it was a very successful weekend, We were able to remove a lot of things that we just don't need anymore. Note that we have been cleaning all week and just did several trips on Saturday to the Recycle center and Goodwill. We saw a lot of people out and about doing spring cleaning but none were as aggressive as we were. Spring Cleaning is well underway. We aren't done yet, we still have a lot more things to get rid of and still have some things in cue ready for this weekend trash and goodwill run. Later this week I'll be putting things on eBay to see if there's some demand for some of the things I have been collecting over the years. I have done some basic research and have found that some of the stuff isn't as valuable as I thought they would be.
