Decluttering revolves around eliminating items that are no longer necessary or desired. If you find the process challenging, here's a mental strategy to streamline your decision-making.

Consider your shopping habits: you express your interest in items by spending money on them. Tarryn Williford from Apartment Therapy recommends a comparable approach at home. Visualize being in a store, and the object in your grasp is something you've just taken off the shelf. Now, think as if you don't own this item and ponder whether you would purchase it at that moment, assuming it's brand new and appropriately priced. If the answer is yes, the item is a keeper. If not, it may be time to part ways or at least reassess its significance to you. By the conclusion of your decluttering journey, you should be surrounded only by the things that you genuinely value and require.
