8+2 Decluttering Questions to Help You Let Go

(Prefer Bionic Reading? Hop over to Bionic Reading version of this post?)

Have you ever decided to end the chaos by minimizing your possessions? Intended to go through everything and toss a TON of stuff but ended up keeping the most because you couldn't talk yourself to toss all those perfectly good and usable items?

I know I have - many times!

I've compiled a set of questions to help me really think through if something is worth keeping:

1. Would I buy this now?

2. Do I have enough of these even if I throw this away? How many do I actually need?

3. Do I really use this?

4. Do I really like this?

5. Is keeping this item worth the effort it takes to maintain and store it?

6. If I threw this away, would I even remember it existed a month from now?

7. I want to have a tidy home - does keeping this item make it easier or harder to achieve?

8. Which do I want more: to keep this or to have the tidy home of my dreams?
   

And if you are a crafter and a tinkerer, you may find these useful - or even life-changing:

1. Will I really truly use this in a project or is it just a possibility that I might do in an ideal world? (Like how likely is it that I'll ever have time for it..?!)

2. If I never saw this again, would the thought of the project even cross my mind?

These questions have helped me a lot and I hope they help you too!
