"When it comes to decluttering, there are a few steps you have to take before you can actually physically get rid of anything in your home. The first one is extremely important and requires you to set up three boxes - that's it! It sounds simple, but it'll lay the groundwork for a truly productive decluttering session. Here's why you should set up three outboxes before decluttering anything in your home."
""Donate": For things that are in good shape and you want to donate or give away to friends and family. "Maybes": For things that are undecided, whether you're not sure if you want to get rid of them or find a new place for them. You can also set aside items to fix here too. "Sell": For things that are in good condition and sellable. You can skip this one if you don't intend to sell anything."
"Day 1: Set up your three outboxes for decluttering. This is the first task of Apartment Therapy's Decluttering Cure, a completely free 14-day program that'll help you declutter your home, one task at a time. It starts today and runs until October 5.
