Reduce your supply of old cell phones and chargers

Why do we save our old cell phones and chargers? Go through your supply and donate the ones you'll never use to a local shelter.

Too many electronic cords?

If you have multiple electronic items or cords, ask yourself these questions:

•Do I really need more than one?
•Is it easy to use?
•Do I favor one over the other?
•Do I frequently use this electronic item or this type of cord? 

Weeding out the items you don't use will give you a little more space in your cabinets and drawers.

Why do we save extra pens and markers?

Why do we accumulate so many pens, most of which we dislike? Go through your pens and markers and keep only your favorite writing utensils. Then, think twice before accepting a "free" pen in the future.

How many do you need?

If you have duplicate items, ask yourself how many you need. Sometimes it's convenient to store items in multiple locations, such as in your home office and in a drawer in your kitchen.

Why do we save old t-shirts?

Why do we let ourselves accumulate so many t-shirts? Go through your t-shirts and separate the shirts you love and wear from the ones you'll never wear. Then, donate those extra t-shirts to a local shelter.

Reduce your supply of tiny shampoo bottles

Why do we accumulate so many small bottles of shampoo and conditioner? Go through your supply and separate the bottles you plan to use from the ones you'll never use. Then, take your discarded bottles to a local shelter.

Did you know you had that many?

When items are scattered throughout your garage it's difficult to know exactly how many you own. Corral similar items together and then eliminate the duplicates or the items you no longer need.

How much is too much?

Do I have too many putty knives? Do I need more than one putty knive?

How many do you really need?

If you have duplicate items, ask yourself how many you need. Sometimes it's convenient to store items in multiple locations, such as in your garage, basement and laundry room.
