It's much easier to declutter when we filter our choices through certain questions, so I've compiled the best 15 questions to ask yourself when decluttering. Some are famous ("Does this spark joy?") and some are recent viral sensations ("If this had poop on it, would you wash it off or throw it away?"), but I break down why they work (and circumstances when they don't).
Choose your favorites from this list and let them help you part with your clutter!
Thank you to the listener who requested this episode! Such a great idea to get these helpful questions all in one place.
