How to Start Decluttering When You Don’t Know Where to Begin
Decluttering is emotional — but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
- Start with easy spaces like bathrooms or linen closets.
- Use the four-box method: Keep, Donate, Sell, Trash.
- Set a 20-minute timer — short sessions are powerful.
- Avoid sentimental items at first.
- Ask one key question: Will this serve my next chapter?
Bottom line: Decluttering is a process, not a race.
