Out of Clutter Cutters: Put things you think you will need in the future in a box and seal it. Date the box, and put it in your storage area. If you haven't opened it in a year, DON'T OPEN IT and instead donate/trash it. Great way to clear out the "I might use this someday) clutter we all gather.

This works very well for people(umm-husbands and kids at my house)who are reluctant to get rid of any of there treasures.We fill a box,put a list of all the things in the box on top,and if the seal hasn't been broken in a year,off it goes!(the list prevents opening to check what is in the box)
