2022 is right around the corner, which means it’s time to start the year fresh. Over the year your home or office tends to start collecting items on top of what you already own. This can make navigating your space more of a mission than anything, at which point it’s probably time to move on from some of your belongings. Decluttering your home before the new year strikes is a good way to move on from unnecessary belongings and start the new year off on the right foot. Before the year’s over, consider these categories in determining what to do with your extra belongings.

Keep

These are the items that you absolutely can’t get rid of while decluttering your home. This can be anything from items you use on a daily basis, sentimental belongings, or items you just couldn’t live without. It’s easy to put everything in this pile, but make it a point to really decide what you absolutely need to keep when you’re dividing everything up. Otherwise, you’ll likely end up with the same amount of clutter in your home as you had before.

Repurpose

Do you have items that have reached the end of their usefulness? If it’s possible, it’s a great idea to repurpose them for other uses. Cups can be turned into pen holders, boots that don’t fit anymore into planters, etc. Finding a new life for your belongings is a great way to compromise on making space while still being able to keep them.

Trash

Items that need to be trashed are either broken beyond repair or have reached the end of their usefulness. It could be a favorite chair that has had the legs glued back on several times, or a couch that chips more and more away as the days go by. Whatever it may be, chances are it’s reached the point where it just needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, it’s highly unlikely people will buy items like this that are in a state of disrepair, so it’s time to just trash it altogether, no matter how bad it hurts. 

Sell

This is for the items that you’ve decided on getting rid of, but are in a good or brand new condition. Selling your items is a great way of making something back on the item while still decluttering your home. You could try doing a yard sale, however you’d tend to lose out majorly. There’s also online marketplaces to sell your items, but there’s far too many scammers, and shipping can cost you a fortune.
