Nobody warns you that letting go of stuff comes with guilt attached. That was the hardest part for me, not the sorting, not the boxes, the guilt about keeping things in the first place. What helped was having a simple test, so I wasn't standing there spiraling over every single thing. Do I use it? Do I love it? Do I need it? One yes, it stays. All three no, it goes. That's it. You don't need more motivation. You need permission and a plan. Follow along, this is exactly the kind of thing I post. 🛟 Decluttering resources in my bio link #decluttering #downsizing #midlife

Enough vases for 3 wedding parties? Holiday pillows for every occassion? Clothes 2 sizes smaller than I am? All my tax paper boxes since 1998? 3 extra desks stacked in the garage? Are you at this point too? Follow me for decluttering tips ✅
