Key Takeaways: Decluttering is more than just tidying up; it’s about creating spaces that support your mental well-being and daily rhythm. Your decluttering method should reflect your personal needs and life stage; there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Use the "rule of three" to prioritize daily tasks and reduce mental clutter; focus on three main priorities to keep life manageable. Sentimental items should be curated carefully to retain the most meaningful objects without overcrowding your space. Virtual decluttering sessions provide a unique opportunity to get expert guidance remotely, enhancing both physical and mental organization.
