Four questions for every item.

4 min read

Most decluttering stalls on decisions. A few simple questions make them faster.

Ask

  1. Have I used it in the last year?
  2. Would I buy it again today?
  3. Do I have another one that does the same job?
  4. Is it worth the space it takes?

Maybe box

Not sure? Put it in a dated box. If you haven't opened the box in six months, donate it without looking inside.
