How to give away at least 25 items between now and the end of May 2008.
How I did it: This was connected to two other goals -- becoming more tidy and getting rid of clutter. In my attempts at getting rid of clutter (which I am still working on), I decided that the best way to do this was simply to get rid of stuff. Therefore I made a goal to give away a specific number of items by a specific date.
Lessons & tips: Holding on to everything has always been a problem for me. I used "baby steps" in achieving this goal. I started with small items that I knew I would not have as much problem giving away and worked my way up. It helped to give certain items to friends and family rather than to charity, The more I decided to get rid of, the easier the task became.
Resources: It definitely helped that there is a charity drop off location just a few blocks away from my home. I was able to drop items off there on a regular basis, before I could change my mind. Giving items to friends and family also helped me, because it felt more like I was giving a gift.
