I've done a similar thing, 40 bags in 40 days, and first time I did it in Lent
It worked really well, I divided a piece of paper into 40 squares and every time I did a carrier bag full crossed one off, it doesn't have to be done every day, sorting through clothes often gave me a charity bag full of. Clothes which I counted as 2 carrier bags. Other days it took longer as things were a lot smaller so it sort of evened out.
I found it helpful.as it sort of got my decluttering muscles going and helped me think about it
It doesn't want to become a chore cos if it does you will not want to do it
30 or 40 carrier bags fill is quite a lot of things, I then tried a bit of reorganisation and that so often Leda to a bit more deckuttering. I got. Some shelves to put inside kitchen cupboards which meant less wasted space and I was able to have things better to hand.
I keep a bag for the charity shop and drop off as necessary. Obviously nothing unsaleable/rubbish. If I get something that works better for me I'll get rid of the old one either to someone else or the charity shop.
For various reasons I have a lot. Of old bathroom. Items, and have gone through them and am not buying any more until I need to. Some that I don't like or are say for a hair color I no longer have/want have been passed on, someone was delighted with the box of red dye I thought was now the wrong color, to a good cause or repurposed, eg bleugh cheap shower gel into handwash bottles, or filling up small bottles for when going away. Or for cleaning the bath out maybe.
If you do the decluttering little by little you have time to rehome/repurpose, and wanting to make sure stuff goes to a good home is one barrier to decluttering. I also try and do it going along, I'll think of some summer clothes that's not worth storing away, time to repurpose as rags, or if I've been too soft, I'll do the same when I unpack them for use.
As a he keeper I would say if you have egg boxes please reach out to your local hen keepers, obviously I don't buy eggs so rely on either buying egg boxes or getting them from other people. Offer clean washed Jars to the jamming community, offer gallon bottles of water to people like me who take water down to hens every day, better than me buying them if they already exist, useful for camping too. It is surprising what is useful to their people.
Someone offered on our local community group her late mother's craft items or she'd be taking them to the tip
I offered and picked them up. Lots of stuff to sort through. Useful fabric, tapestries started on frames, new tapestries, wool, and quilting supplies, including a nearly complete patchwork quilt
I sorted it into categories, took bits I thought I might use, including the quilt. Some of the tapestry patterns were nice but I thought I have others I need to finish and if I do finish them what will I do with them. I pulled one out as was unsure and thought it can always go another day. So I took stuff bagged up in categories on several trips, they all got sold, I kept an eye on them and was so pleased to go in one day and they had all gone on to new homes. Some locally make bags out of unwanted furnishing fabrics and I almost kept them to do likewise but released them so someone else could and that way the original shop got some income from the fabric
Having chucked out stuff in the past that I regretted I hang onto stuff I'm not sure about, and I plan to write down what I want to happen to various collections if my children don't want them and notes on stuff that has a value so try and sell it.
Maybe this doesn't help. If you are a true hoarder with narrow corridors through the rooms obviously
As for tools, some. Organizations take hand tools and send them overseas, power tools if they work or would work with a new battery are of use to someone, either a library of things or someone just starting up in life
An elderly widow I knew spent a long time disposing of her late husband's tools etc and was delighted that many of them went to someone just starting up. In his industry
