Just wanted to write in to say, this is fantastic and inspiring. I'm not taking as comprehensive an approach as you, but seeing your posts have inspired me to work harder at moving our "to be donated" piles along. I will get stuff ready and then it sits in piles in my closet. So far I've made a trip to Goodwill and done a lot of Buy Nothing giveaways. I'm really excited that yesterday someone on Buy Nothing took a pile of DD's old stuffed animals that had been sitting at the back of my closet for over a year!
(BTW we can do garage sales in our neighborhood but that is something I never get around to doing... so it's just easier for me to give it away. I justify the fact that I'm missing out on making extra cash, that it's worth it to me for the mental health benefits of decluttering!)
