Print this and tape it where you're working. Five colors, one decision per item.

  • GREEN — SELL: there's a buyer worth the effort.
  • YELLOW — DONATE: usable, accepted by a charity.
  • RED — TRASH / RECYCLE: broken, unusable, expired.
  • PINK — KEEP: going to a named person, with a date.
  • BLUE — RESEARCH / SPECIALIST: unknown or high-value; hold it.

The only rule: nothing leaves the property until every item has a colored note on it.
