[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have ideas about why stuff keeps accumulating? I know I hate to waste stuff, so I can't make myself throw out a perfectly good whatever and I don't always know where to donate things. Joining Buy Nothing and keeping an eye on Freecycle helps me keep things flowing out the door

"I don't always know where to donate things."

Like what?[/quote]

Not my point. There is always something that needs a new home, and *for me* it works better to have that stuff pulled out  the door by someone looking for Y than for me to push it out the door and into the hands of whatever organization I've found that will take it.[/quote]

You need to get over the desire to get rid of things in the most perfect way.  I am the same way and they give away piles take up way too much room in my house.  This summer, I am going to be ruthless and just get rid of it.  Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good.

When cleaning one room, have baskets for things that belong elsewhere as well as a big bag for trash and another box for donate.  When that room is done, go to the next room.  When cleaning a room, focus on a particular quarter of it so you don't get side tracked.  I also focus on the most public spaces and then go from there.[/quote]
