Designate A Donation Basket

Instead of carving out a big chunk of time to declutter, why not just do it little by little each day? Caitlin Roberts, owner of Minimize With Purpose and a Master-level KonMari consultant (that means she’s held more than 500 tidying sessions!), suggests creating a donation bag or basket in your home. As you and your family go about your daily routine, pick out items that rarely get used and don’t “spark joy” and put them in the basket.

“As you go about your everyday life and notice an item no longer serves a purpose in your life, drop it in the donation bag,” she recommends. “When the bag is full, it is time to donate.” Using this method can make decluttering seem much less daunting. Here’s where to donate all your home goods, from kitchen appliances to electronics.
