• Has it served it’s purpose?
• No? Will it serve it’s purpose now or tomorrow?
Purpose Just Because Contribution Gifts & Cards
How do you bring yourself to throw these out?
• These items are common cause of clutter
• Start with personal – but defined categories
• Start with CDs, DVDs, (Do you still have tapes?), accessories, etc.
• Household supplies, gadgets, etc.
• Evaluate how these things contribute to your life and happiness.
• Have you missed it all this time it was packed away?
• Does it SPARK JOY in you when you see it and hold it?
• These are messages from friends and family to show you that they care.
• The purpose has been served.
• Time to Let Go….
Summary…• De-cluttering should be easy• Decide what kind of life you want • Make your space reflect your future• Decide what you want to keep• Discard it if it does not Spark Joy
