Declutter filter

When decluttering use the filter that an item needs to meet two out of the following 3 criteria – need, use, love.

1. You need this item because it’s practical and helps make your life easier in some way. Examples are a functioning hair dyer, vacuum cleaner, and plunger.
2. You use this item on a regular basis. Examples are shoes you wear a few times a week and electronics you use daily/weekly.
3. You love this item. Examples are a quilt made by your sister and a painting you brought back from a vacation.

This filter helps make decisions on what’s worth keeping. If the criteria aren’t met, donate, recycle or give the item away.
