  • Use the “Four-Box Method”
  • Label boxes as Keep, Donate, Recycle, and Trash.
  • Sort items into these categories as you go.
  • Follow the “One-Year Rule”
  • Ask yourself, “Have I used this in the last year?” If not, consider letting it go (unless it’s sentimental or seasonal).
  • Declutter by Categories : bath, bedroom, laundry room, etc.
  • Energy Efficiency Goals: Simple upgrades to save money and reduce your carbon footprint. From solar panels to heat pump water heaters and fans.
