Instructions:
Not inspired to start? Go dump a drawer so there's no going back!
Start with an easy room first that holds no memories and is smaller in size.
Avoid going through sentimental things at the start, so you can keep momentum speedy while you train yourself to purge hard.
Be aware of duplicates so you don't keep too much.
Quick sorting tips:
Gather boxes to sort into keep / sell / donate / throw out
Gut items from a room first, then clean
Create piles of like-minded items
Only put back what you want and need
Ditch everything else
Sell on Facebook Marketplace or bidding sights to lighten the load while earning.
Store a thrift store box in your vehicle so it's ready to drop off
Handy bathroom cleaning tips:
Remove cobwebs and dust with a duster on the ceilings, high up on walls, light fixtures and above window
Remove shower light fixture (if you have one) to clean debris
Gut vanity, vacuum drawers, wipe down, then restock
Empty, clean and restock closets
Purge excessive items from closet so everything fit with space to grow
Take a toothbrush to the baseboards
