Here’s a painless way to battle clutter: Tie the handles of drawstring trash bags to coat hangers, and hang one in each closet in your house. Then, every time you come across a garment that you no longer wear, a toy that the kids no longer play with, or a gadget that you haven’t used in ages, toss it in the bag. When you’ve got a bunch of filled bags, you’re all set for your blockbuster garage sale—or a trip to the local thrift store. (Don’t forget to ask for a receipt, so you can claim your tax deduction!)
