With Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming up, you may be doing a bunch of online shopping.

Here’s my Amazon trick:

Every box you get, use that same box to fill it with stuff you want to get rid of from your house – whether it’s for donation or selling.

Don’t recycle that empty box! You must fill it up!

Even if the box sits around for a couple of days while you figure out what to fill it with. Don’t give yourself too much time, though! Give yourself a week, tops! You must fill it by the end of the week AND get rid of the box!

It’s a great way to exercise the ‘one in, one out’ rule of keeping your stuff under control.

So, don’t flatten that box! Keep it as a box and fill it up!

Thanks for coming home!
