Don't Just Declutter, De-own.

1. Keep an ongoing donation box easily accessible:.
2. Instead of keeping things you don’t use or love, get rid of them as soon as you find them.
3. Try decluttering as quickly and efficiently as you can for just 10 minutes a day.
4. Schedule regular times to declutter and stick to them.
5. Use the “one in, one out” rule: Whenever you buy or bring something new into your home, find one thing to get rid of in its place.
6. Make sure you have a place to keep everything you’re choosing to keep.
7. Get things out of your house as soon as possible.
8. Track results. Take before and after pictures.
9. Don’t organize until after you declutter.
10. Use a “maybe box” for items you’re struggling to let go of.
11. Use the 20/20 rule for items you’re keeping “just in case”: It eans if you can replace the item for less than $20 and in less than 20 minutes, don’t keep it “just in case”.

Set a timer for 15 minutes, shut out the world and concentrate with intense focus on one and only one task. Closing your door and turning off your phone and internet are specially important.

Recognize that not everything in your list must be done. When in doubt, delete it from your list; if it is important you’ll eventually add it back.

Select the area that you would like to generate the idea in.  Define it clearly and be as specific as possible.

Is it blog post ideas, local business ideas?

Look for surprisingly successful things. Look for the things that look out-of-place in the area that you've chosen, but are performing above expectations.
