A lot of people just do not like to throw things away. They always seem to think that one day they may just need it and it will be too late if it has already been thrown. But this never seems to be the case. Here are a few tips that I use and it certainly makes for a happier household.

As we all know storing lots of unwanted items can sometimes cause a lot of clutter. This often leads to tension and unhappiness in the household.

Why don’t you just start by taking all you broken toys and electrical items and place them into a box. You then list everything on the box along with the date you put them in there. Now you can store the box in your garage.

You then proceed to keep this box in your garage for about thirty days. If there is something that you need out of the box then take it out.

After your period is up you should then move the box somewhere that is out of sight. But again if you need anything from the box then by all means remove it.

When 60 days have gone you can safely throw the whole box and its entire contents into the garbage. This is mainly for the fact that if you did not want any of those items for the last 60 days then it is highly unlikely that you are ever going to need them. The exception to this rule is if any of the items are seasonal items.

This process can be done for any item in the house. But you should start with the broken items as these are the ones you tend to hoard on the pretext that you may get them fixed one day.

This is great for teaching to the kids. You could make them do this monthly with their toys. If they store away the things that they do not play with then it will not only keep their rooms clean but it will also leave less clutter about the place.
