I’ll admit it, I definitely need to learn some decluttering tips. And this book does suggest quite a few. Tracy Mccubbin suggests to start by identifying your specific emotional”clutter block” (she explains there are 5) or why you tend to accumulate clutter in your home.
The other main point is the five questions to ask yourself :
1) Do you use it on a semiregular basis? (at least once a year)
2) Is it making you money?
3) Can you buy it again for a reasonable price or borrow it?
4) Do you have a place to put it away in your home?
5) Do you love, love, love it?
If the answer is yes to any of these, then you can keep it. If no, it’s time to get rid of it by either selling, donating, recycling or throwing it out!
