Make a list of the items in your home and place them into 1 of 3 columns.

Column 1: Things in your life that are "essential" - you would die without them.

Column 2: Things that aren't "essential" but add joy and value to your life.

Column 3: Things that don't qualify in either

Column 1 or Column 2. If it isn't essential, and it doesn't bring you joy, get rid of it.
