Additional Tips and Techniques

Decluttering can be overwhelming, especially if you’ve got years of stuff to sort through. Here are some strategies to help you out:

• One Room at a Time: Tackling one room at a time makes the process less daunting and allows you to see progress quickly.
• Three Box Method: Have three boxes for ‘Keep’, ‘Donate/Sell’, and ‘Trash’. As you go through your items, assign each to one of these categories.
• “One-Year” Rule: If you haven’t used an item in a year, it’s probably safe to say you don’t need it.
