While we are helping our clients edit and organize their homes, we are sourcing donation locations to drop off their no longer wanted items. When specific collections are involved, we will find specialty organizations; but when it’s clothing or other accessories, we like to find local organizations to support.

We say it all the time: It’s “editing” not “decluttering.” But why?

Decluttering is about making space by removing items. Editing is about making the best use of your space by selectively addressing your needs.

Amazon has made life infinitely more convenient for many people around the world. And if you have a Prime membership, even more so. This also means, however, that we now have a lot more packing waste to deal with on a regular basis.

“Someday Syndrome” is what happens when we put something away because we think we’ll use it… someday.

• Those boxes from Amazon? Just store them in the basement so you can use them again… someday.
