What are some popular decluttering strategies?

1. Start with small sections: breaking down a decluttering job into smaller sections makes it easier to manage and complete.
2. Follow the one-in-one-out rule: whenever you bring a new item into the house, get rid of something you no longer need.
3. Practice the four-box method: sort items into four boxes labelled “trash”, “relocate”, “keep”, and “donate”.
4. Tidy by category: sort items by type, such as clothing, books, and appliances, to help you identify redundant items.
5. Use specific storage techniques: use dividers, drawers, and other storage options to keep items better organized.
6. Give everything a home: assign a specific space to each item, so you always know where to put it back.
