Step 2: Sort Into Categories

Make piles so you can see what you actually own:
👕 Clothes • 💻 Electronics • 📚 Books • 🧸 Toys • 🧾 Papers

Step 3: Put Back Only What Belongs

  • Keep what you need, use, or love.

  • Everything else? Set aside.

  • Remember: everything has a home.

Step 4: Re-home the Rest

  • Move piles to the correct place in your house.

  • If something doesn’t have a “home,” that’s your signal it might need to go or haven't used in the last 3-6 months. It can't be that important. It's okay. If you reallllly NEED it down the road, buy it again. Give it to someone who needs it now.

Step 5: Release the Extras

  • Donate, recycle, or responsibly discard what no longer serves you.

  • Less clutter = more clarity.


✨ Habit Stacking Hack

Pair decluttering with something you already do:

  • 🎬 Put on your favorite show or movie.

  • 🎶 Play a podcast or something that keeps you moving.

  • 📺 Or even let the background noise of the news/government “updates” roll while you work (if you enjoy multitasking).

➡️ The trick: attach the new habit (decluttering) to an old habit (watching, listening, or background noise). It makes the process feel less like a chore and more like part of your normal routine. Light a candle. Nice smelling spray and give the room a treat. We all like treats.
