Things we own have different values, for example monetary, practical, and sentimental value. These values change and evolve over time. If it’s been a while since you considered the value of your possessions, I recommend spending some time reevaluating things. Then get rid of items that have little or no value to you anymore. Start with the easy stuff.

• • Broken, expired, and outdated items
  • Excessive quantities, duplicates, backup items, and surplus goods
  • Items belonging to someone else, stored for others, or borrowed from others
  • Materials and products from past hobbies that no longer interest you 
  • Unfinished fix-it projects and abandoned projects
  • Clothing, footwear, and jewelry that is uncomfortable, difficult to maintain, or no longer worn 
  • Products you’ve tried but don’t like and won’t use again
  • Tools, equipment, and gear from previous jobs, home-based businesses, or start-up ideas
  • Papers, files, and documents that are outdated, irrelevant, or unnecessary 
  • Blurry, damaged, or duplicate photos
  • Samples, freebies, and give-aways that have never been touched
  • Random screws, bolts, or parts with no known purpose
  • Empty boxes and plastic bags
