These are all great tips! Decluttering can feel overwhelming when it’s just for the sake of getting rid of stuff. I love thinking about how it can help you live a more comfortable, lower-friction life!
Great article full of helpful suggestions. I'm glad you put in celebrating. We often think these small accomplishments don't matter, but they do and we need to congratulate ourselves when we accomplish even the smallest task. It is an important step in keeping the forward momentum going. 😊
As always, great tips. I decluttered when I moved a year ago. I am now finding that I am slowly re-cluttering. This is a good reminder to revisit whether I need something or am falling back into old habits.

I've been doing "gentle" de-cluttering for 3 days now! Very doable and not soo overwhelming 😊
Wonderfully expressed
This was great...so helpful and stress free suggestions
Brilliant. My partner will be relived, we love our cozy clutter.
This is one of the best articles on decluttering I’ve read in a while. It really hits home.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the feedback!

Karen, you can definitely do this - just start small!

Totally normal—clutter creeps back.
Try these:
One-in, one-out rule.
Keep a visible “donate” bin.
10-minute weekly reset (set a timer).
You could also do 30-day “maybe” box—if you don’t use it, it goes.
You did the hard part already; now it’s light maintenance. You’ve got this!
