To get a #donation together quickly, try speed #decluttering. Pick a room and stand in the middle of it. “Spend 10 minutes identifying the things within view that are more #trash than #treasure,” says Food52, such as junk mail, empty containers or that scented candle you always hated. “These are things that don’t belong in your space. At the end of 10 minutes, you’ll easily have a pile of things to toss or #ive away.” You’ll need to make quick decisions, but in a matter of minutes, your space will be brighter, healthier, more #organized and easier to keep #clean. #QuickDonation

Want to make fast #donations to ClothingDonations.org without overthinking? Observe five basic ground rules, says Apartment Therapy, by asking yourself the following questions: (1) Have I used this item in the past year? (2) Will I use it in the year ahead? (3) Would I buy this again today — or do I already own a better version of the same thing? (4) If it’s broken, is it worth fixing? And (5) Would I keep this if I moved? If you answer “No” to any of these questions on whatever it is, it’s time to #declutter. Throw it in a bag and contact ClothingDonations.org for a #free #pickup. #QuickDonation

Many homes have problem areas where #clutter accumulates. Maybe your entryway can’t handle all of your outerwear, so coats are hanging on chairs and doors. Maybe your pantry is overstuffed with seldom-used spices and other ingredients. Or maybe the bathroom is awash in partially used beauty products. To #declutter and get a #donation together quickly, “identify one place where clutter is an issue (visible or hidden) and address it,” says Apartment Therapy. “Examples include cluttered counters, overstuffed drawers, messy cabinets and disorganized shelves. Decide what needs to be tossed, relocated or placed in an outbox.” #QuickDonation

The #closet is a great place to #declutter for make a fast #donation to ClothingDonations.org. Thirty minutes might be all you need. Get #bags in place for #donated items, and a trash can or rag bag for things that can be eliminated due to excessive wear. Then, tackle each category of #clothing by stack or rod, making snap judgements based upon whether you’ve worn the item in the last year, not cost or “someday” potential. Consider how your closet got so cluttered in the first place, says Apartment Therapy: Are you holding onto #garments that don’t fit? Do you impulse-buy? Is your #organizational scheme ineffective? #QuickDonation
