Here is a simple trick to reducing clutter in your storage spaces. When you start pulling out holiday decorations, pull out two extra boxes. As you separate the bulbs that have become impossibly intertwined, also sort through the two other containers to separate what you need to keep and what can be donated or thrown in the trash. It is also a good idea to make the same commitment when you return the holiday decorations to their place of hibernation. Simple tricks like this make seemingly impossible tasks simple.
