Ask yourself: Do I use this? Do I love it? Does it serve a purpose? If not, it may be clutter. If you haven’t used something in over a year, it’s often safe to let go. Sentimental items are harder—keep only those that truly hold meaning. For duplicates or “just in case” items, be realistic.

If something’s broken or outdated, it’s okay to part ways. Trust your instincts. Decluttering isn’t about deprivation—it’s about clarity. Keep what adds value to your life, and release the rest to create physical and mental space.
