Declutter by Asking One Question: "Does This Spark Joy?”

Try throwing away anything that doesn’t bring you happiness instead.

Decluttering can be a stressful task in itself.

Chris explains:

For all the clothes you don’t wear, pass them on.

At minimum, never keep anything you haven’t worn in the past year.

Go around your house and get rid of all unnecessary papers.

Papers are the worstthey rarely bring joy.

Don’t worry about organizational accoutrements or professional storage products.

Forget about being super minimalist.

Instead, focus on holding on to things you like while getting rid of everything else.

This is a delightful decluttering strategy.

I’m doing it right now.

This makes it easy to figure out which things should go and which should say.
