Full DeClutter Mode!

I am rescuing my worst room this week. How do you rescuing a room? The way I do it is to first gather my supplies; a garbage bag (or few) for, you guessed it - garbage, a box for "Give Aways" and a box for "Put Aways". Then, I stand at the doorway and look to my right and going clockwise around the room I pick up each item in the room and decide where to "File" it. Once I have the three piles I will take out the garbage and put all the things that need to be given away by the front door of the trunk of the vehicle taking them away. However, I do not put anything yet. I do a full detailed cleaning first. I start at the ceiling and work my way down finishing with the floor I of course do all of this in Flylady fashion by doing it in 15 minute increments, pausing for a break and some water every hour. When every thing is done I like to enjoy my last break admiring what I have accomplished while enjoying a nice cup of Tetley.

Do you actually take everything out of the room or off the shelves, etc? How often would you say you do each room? I need to rescue my whole house!
