After all, you dont want to discard something important.
But the hard part is determining exactly whats important.
For most people, purging is hard," says Emily Preciado-Fonseca, professional organizer and founder of MommyAssist.
As challenging as this process can be, she encouragesapproaching declutteringwith positivity.
Not sure where to start?
Here are seven questions to ask yourself while decluttering.
Does It Fit or Still Work?
Home items that are damaged should also get the boot!
Does It Represent My Current Style?
Trend cycles are faster than ever these days.
The Spurilles recommend asking yourself if something feels like the current you.
Will I Ever Wear or Use This Again?
If theres a good chance you wont wear or use it again, its time to let it go.
Do I Have Multiples of This Item?
Preciado-Fonseca suggests asking yourself if you havemultiples of an item.
How many of these do I have?
When did I last use this?
Do I like this?"
This question can apply to everything from kitchen tools to makeup and even clothing.
After all, how many measuring cups, mascaras, and black v-neck tops do you really need?
Is This Still Relevant?
This alsoapplies to technology.
Does This Have High Sentimental Value?
Remember, not everything does, explains Preciado-Fonseca.
Is This a Someday Item?
Preciado-Fonseca suggests asking yourself if something is a someday item.
Sure, you might hike Machu Picchu one day, but you probably wont use those ten-year-old hiking boots.
The organizer highly recommends letting go of these items.
Am I saving this for someday, or keeping it out of guilt?"
