Then begin at the beginning once more. Start, for example, at the table in the hall. Place them in your box. When the table is empty, except for the vase of flowers that belongs there, circle the house with your catch. Gloves are placed in the box before the coat closet where they are supposed to live.
Mail is dumped into the box in front of the desk area.
Items to be thrown away are delivered to the garbage can. Empty the coat closet of all unassigned items, while adding the gloves to their assigned area. Again, circle the house with your coat closet box, delivering items to the new storage area where each belongs. As you work, you're sorting and decluttering in two directions. You're removing clutter and improperly-stored items, while collecting and replacing the things which belong in any given area.
