How do you know how much stuff you should get rid of when decluttering? Is 20% enough? Should you aim for 40%? Or is there a better way to approach the decisions?
Rather than focusing on how much you're getting rid of, what if you started thinking about your belongings as the cream of the crop, the bottom of the barrel, and everything in between?
Your cream of the crop is the stuff you love, use and genuinely want in your home, let's call that 20%. Your bottom of the barrel is the stuff that's broken, unwanted, unused or simply ready to go, let's also call that 20%.
But what about that tricky middle 60%? The things you don't particularly love, but aren't quite ready to part with either?
That's where decluttering decisions can become overwhelming!
You'll discover how to make decluttering easier by working from both ends. Start by identifying your favourites, then remove the obvious clutter. Once you've cleared that first layer, you can reassess what's left and discover a whole new bottom of the barrel.
Whether you're sorting through books, clothes, kitchen containers or kids' toys, you'll learn how to break big, overwhelming decisions into smaller, more manageable ones.
You'll also explore how natural limits, like choosing your favourite items to fit a particular container or space, can help you decide what deserves to stay.
You don't need to calculate the perfect percentage of clutter to remove. You just need to start making decisions, one item at a time.
