Q&A: Donating, Containers, Decluttering With No In-Between Mess

I'm answering questions from the past month's videos. What do you do when you can't donate because donation centers are closed? Why didn't you take everything off the high shelf so you could go through it more easily? Why didn't you get rid of the white container that held random stuff? Which of your books should I read first?
