The first and simplest decluttering rule: if you haven\u2019t used it in the last 12 months, you probably don\u2019t need it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Check your wardrobe, shoe rack, utensils, books, and electronics. Be honest with yourself. Keep what adds value, and consider donating, selling, or storing the rest. This clears unnecessary bulk and gives you a sense of light.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
