10 minutes, 20 fewer items and it feels so good!! The effect that clutter on our stress levels, our emotions, our stability, our cleanliness...it's a lot. Slowly chipping away at that burden is more beneficial than you realize. Try it and tell me how good it feels. Happy decluttering!
Don't forget to L I K E and S U B S C R I B E. Thank YOU for all your support. Means the world!

Another use for old dish cloths and towels etc is to donate to an animal shelter or clinic/hospital. They use the towels in the kennels and go through them a lot for cleaning up after the animals. I've been doing it for years!

We have a clothes basket for each of our kids that lives at the end of their beds (Ages 5-10) and they can take their baskets and wash and dry their own clothes. It saves time sorting clothes and it's a good way to encourage our kids to be independent. We also have a towel basket in the bathroom and a basket in our room to share. It may add money for extra laundry tablets and water use but the system works so much better for us.

I have taken extra pens and supplies to my office😅 but I love this! This would honestly a productive fun little activity to do on the weekend☺️ I love decluttering so for me it’s def a fun activity. Also! One of my favorite memories was gathering two boxes worth of books I had and donating them to my local library. The librarians were so happy for the donation💕

@cherylhartl4793 2 жыл бұрын

If you have excess pens, call your local hospital or Nursing homes’ Nursing stations and ask if they would like them. As someone who works in Healthcare - pens grow feet and walk away, we are always looking for a pen to use!

Just took two boxes to goodwill yesterday and a big bin full of out-grown clothes of my youngest (almost ten) to consignment. I wish I could get my husband to get rid of more stuff! Lol! He is a xbox gamer and tech person. He also still has chemistry books from college (he's a chemist). He keeps saying they may come in handy while our boys are in school.....

A little late but you asked if some of us have ever given pens away and I have! I asked people around me if they wanted them and my artist sister and they gladly took what they needed. I was happy, they were happy and it was a tiny little clutter free area of my life that felt much better afterwards.

I also keep 2-3 old towels for when it's wet and muddy out. I can throw that down at the door for when my children come back in from playing outside to avoid getting the floor too dirty.

If you have a free Facebook group for your community you can post there! I figure if I plan to donate I might as well give them away to someone who needs it and will use it vs sit at a donation place and possibly thrown away!
