Decluttering and Sorting Strategies: Trimming the Bulk
To effectively remove extra belongings, consider using a two-box method. Designate two boxes, one for items to keep and one for items to purge.As you go through hand-me-downs, make quick decisions about each piece: if it still fits, is in good condition, and your child would actually wear/use it, put it in the keep box. If it doesn’t meet those criteria, place it in the purge box.Then, you can further sort the purge box into items to donate, sell, or trash.
