The “donate” box is for the things that you’d like to give to your chosen charity. The “trash” box is for the things that have no use, or things that have been broken it can’t be fixed anymore. And the “save” box is for the things that you really can’t throw away but is not a need for your daily chores.

If you’ve come to the point that you really can’t throw away your things, especially when it has sentimental value, there might be a solution for it. You can make use of the technology today, wherein you can take pictures of the things that you value and have it developed, then compile it into a book. In this way, the memory that you have from that thing stays with you. You can also make use of the internet to download books that you want to have a copy off, so you can throw away the stacks of a book in your house.
You can always sell the things that are still available to be used by other, giving you extra cash in your pockets. But if you can’t imagine strangers are using the things that you once loved, you can always give it to your relatives whom you know that can take care and make use of it.
Cleaning up your house can be stressful, but the result can have a lot of an advantage for you and your family.
