About DNORRIS's question - Freecycle groups are all over the US, and they are run through email postings. If you go to the link below you can find if there is a group near you.

I have never heard of this concept before. What city do you live in that has this sort of thing? One time we had a Totally Free Market that functioned the way you describe, but it was a one day thing and has never happened since. I don't know where to even look to find out if my city has something like this available.

Ktichen has work areas

De-cluttering my kitchen was so much easier then I established work areas--one area for baking (just baking needs in this area) cooking area (just cooking need here); making lunches, etc. Now my kitchen flows better and easier, plus I have only what I need. It is now de-cluttered.

Create Clutter-Free Zones

Having a clean, organized house lowers your stress and settles your mind. I use to say "My house reflects my state of mind' when my house was dirty. I meant it as a joke but now I realize how true that statement actually is.

MORE INFORMATION:
Just create one small "clutter-free zone" in your house each day. One shelf on a bookcase, one drawer in your dresser, etc. These little clutter free areas add up! Plus, a lot of times once you get started you will end up doing more than you thought you would.
