  Set Clear Goals: Determine what areas of the home need decluttering and set specific, achievable goals for each space.

  
  

• Start Small: Begin with one room or even one area, such as a closet or a drawer, to prevent feeling overwhelmed.

  
  

• Sort and Categorize: Use the "Keep, Donate, and Discard" method to categorize items based on their usefulness and sentimental value.

  
  

• Involve Family or Friends: Engaging loved ones in the process can provide support and encouragement, making decluttering a more enjoyable experience.
