This may not apply to you. You have not answered ""Stuff": which route for requirement 6?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Each classified as an essential need or a desirable want, then identify the excess and (working with your family where you can) donate, repurpose or recycle it.

Note. This option ends in actually donating, repurposing or recycling things, and the requirement asks you to work with your family where you can. It is the only option under requirement 6 that changes anything in the house.
