Got a small window of free time? Embark on a mini purge: Take a lap around the house with a garbage bag and toss the stuff below. Letting it go (via trash or recycling) will bring you satisfaction and bring order to your home.
1. Socks without a match
2. Food-storage containers without a lid
3. DVDs you never watch
4. Expired coupons
5. Dried-out markers
6. Baking supplies you’ll never use (i.e. apple pie spice or those three cupcake holders left over from the Fourth of July)
7. T-shirts that are too big, which you said you would wear to bed but never do
8. Trinkets from birthday-party goodie bags or the treasure chest at the dentist (mini Slinky toys, tiny erasers)
9. Ketchup and soy sauce packets
10. Chipped plates
