A friend of mine once said to me when we were talking about decluttering, you have to look at things with a hard heart. And I always remember that piece of advice when I try to declutter or indeed I move house. Having recently done both, I was again reminded by the need to look at the things I own (or horde!) with a hard heart.
When was the last time I used it?
When will I use it again?
Do I need this?
Can I get rid of it?
Can I sell it?
Could someone else find use in it?
All of these questions should be applied to the things in your life you could (probably/possibly) live without.
A hard heart means, the items you think you don't need but you hold onto just in case you might need them again one day, probably could go off to a better home or be recycled in some way.
Happy decluttering... and remember, you trash could be someone else's treasure so think about selling it on eBay (www.ebay.com.au) or, if you have enough stuff, throw a garage sale! Sometimes you can make some money out of the items you just don't need any more.
