Decluttering 101: What to Toss, Keep, or Repurpose

Let’s be honest—most of us ain't messy, we just got way too much stuff. That drawer full of random cables? Yeah, you don’t even know what half of them are for. Time to let go, my friend. Start with tossing things you clearly don’t use anymore—like that crusty mascara from five years ago, or them jeans that hasn’t fit since pre-pandemic. If it's broke and you've said "I'll fix it" more than three times... you probly won't. Keep the things you love or use on the regular, but be real about it. Do you really need 4 bottle openers? Sentimental stuff is cool—just don’t let it takeover your whole closet. One box is plenty. And for the clever folks, repurpose! Old jars can be cute little planters, and worn t-shirts make great cleaning rags (save the planet, one wipe at a time). That ugly lamp? Paint it gold and call it retro. If you ain’t used it in the past year, it's probably dead weight. Exceptions? Sure—like holiday stuff or emergency supplies. The goal ain't perfection, it's peace. And a floor you can actually see.
