You’ve already spent the money on the item. The thing is if it’s not something you use, need or love, it’s only adding clutter to your home and your life right now. Even though you no longer use, need or love it, it’s hard to let go because you know how much you invested buying the item. You might be hanging on to something because it was expensive to buy initially. Actually write it in your calendar! If it’s not important enough to spend the time and/or money repairing, you likely don’t really need or love it enough to keep! 4. If you come across something in need of repair as you’re decluttering, give yourself a deadline to do or get the repair done.
You would notice that it’s not available to use or enjoy, and want to get it fixed so you can use or enjoy it again. If the item is truly something you use, need or love, repairing it would be a priority. But in the meantime, the item sits unused and still in need of repair for quite some time. Sometimes it’s easy to hang onto things that are broken or need repair, telling yourself you still need it and intend to repair it. It can be eye-opening to see how many items you’re holding on to that you never use at all! 3. Then pay attention to what still has the sticky note on it after a set period of time. Make note of when you applied the sticky notes. Put sticky notes on books, DVDs, makeup, craft supplies, etc. You can use this tracking method for all kinds of other things too. After a set period of time, notice what still has a sticky note and consider letting those items go. When you use the item, take the sticky note off. Or just on the items you want to track how often you use.

Then, notice and get rid of what never or rarely gets worn. You can also try making a list of all your clothes and tracking each time you wear an item for a set period of time. After a few months, look at whatever hasn’t been worn and let it go knowing you don’t wear or love it. Then hanging them the right way after you wear something. This could be as simple as turning your hangers in your closet to face backwards. Or are still feeling hesitant to let something you rarely use go, try tracking how often you use it.
If you’re not sure how often you use something. If you can’t remember the last time you used something, again, it’s likely not something you use, need and enjoy often and you can probably let it go. If you come across something you forgot you even had, or haven’t used in the last 6 months to a year, it’s probably not something adding a lot of value to your life. The things that are adding value to your life are the things you use, need and enjoy often. This is such a simple way to check in with yourself as you’re decluttering.
