Putting all the stuff in basement method?
I’m at the point in decluttering where a lot of the really useless/broken/outgrown stuff is all gone and there is still way too much stuff, but I’m also getting into “this may actually be worth keeping” territory.
have been daydreaming about putting a ton of stuff in bins in the basement and then bringing up item by item that I need when I need it and then after a period of time (6 months? year?) going through the remaining basement items and seeing what we actually used with fresh eyes, etc. I thought if I kept the bins labeled with where the stuff is (like a bin for “lower pantry corner cabinet” i know what stuff is in there so when I need somethkng I could find it that way.
is this. a bad idea? part of me thinks to not do this because I’ll have a bunch of bins in my basement and also since I will still have to go through it (like am I just going through things twice at that point?) but like I said, a lot of the obvious stuff is gone now so I’m being more cautious with donating/discarding.
