  • Tired of Clutter Piles? Discover the Easiest Way to Get Rid of Them (Ep 267)

    Tired of Clutter Piles? Discover the Easiest Way to Get Rid of Them (Ep 267)
    Jul 23 2025
    Tired of donation piles taking over your home? Are you guilty of stuff shifting? For years I would declutter, but then as the things would sit in a pile in the corner of the room or in our garage, they would often migrate back into our home. This created a vicious cycle of decluttering, second guessing, and re-cluttering. The problem was that sometimes getting the clutter out and to the donation center was more work than the act of decluttering. Then, I stumbled upon a simple low-effort, but high-impact way to get the clutter out without having to make multiple trips to the donation center or post each item for sale (or gift) online. I recently used this advice in my life again and not only was ie easy and successful, it brought our neighborhood together. If you’ve ever had donation piles that just move from one room to another, this one’s for you. You’ll learn: Why donation piles often stay stuck for months (or years!) How Free Sales make decluttering easier and faster Simple steps to host one—even with minimal time and effort Pro tips to make it fun, successful, and stress-free How Deanna used a Free Sale to get rid of 75+ items in one weekend! **************** Links in this episode (some may be affiliate links - thanks for supporting the show at no extra cost to you): Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@wannabeclutterfree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Full show notes: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠wannabeclutterfree.com/267⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Check out my favorite resources⁠ **************** Time Stamps: 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:33 Personal Updates and Summer Routine 02:50 The Struggle of Decluttering 09:00 Introducing the Free Sale Concept 10:45 How to Host a Successful Free Sale 17:02 Expert Tips for a Smooth Free Sale 28:09 Conclusion and Next Episode Teaser Music: Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - ⁠⁠https://www.silvermansound.com⁠⁠ Subscribe & Review: If you loved this episode, please subscribe and leave a review!
