10 questions to ask yourself when de-cluttering

February 3, 2012

1. Is this item something I use regularly?

2. If not, is it something I love?

3. Am I keeping this out of obligation? (Did the person who gave it to me think that it would be something I should cherish and keep forever?)

4. Do I think I should love it?

5. Am I saving this just in case? (most people say yes here but consider what you are giving up today for the POSSIBILITY only of it being used one day in the future.)

6. Do I have multiples of the same things? (if likely, reduce the amount of mulitples)

7. Could something else do the same job? (or if needed in the future, do you have the resources to be able to find something else that would work?)

8. Am I holding onto it to fix one day? (Is it going to be worth the time I spend cleaning/fixing it?)

9. Could I use this space for something else? (Likely something that is currently on the floor or stuffed into a closet elsewhere)

10.  Is is either beautiful, memorable or useful today? (If so, hang on to it for now. You may not feel the same way about it down the road however.)
