5 Tips To Let Go of Emotional Attachment And Declutter Effectively

One of the main themes of decluttering is emotional attachment. If it weren't for feelings (and maybe a little motivation), decluttering may not be so hard.

​

But we know decluttering is hard, and you stumble into roadblocks when confronted with possessions that you've owned for years and have a special place in your heart...

​

Note: Clutter that is sentimental need not be removed just because it's cluttering your space; if there are things that hold value to you, simply find a place to keep them if you enjoy it. We recommend removing this that don't serve a purpose or things you no longer value.

​

📍 Main Points: Start with items that have expiration dates. These types of items include: old food, expired medication, cleaning products, and old first aid items. Get after your sentimental items last and prioritize your low-attachment items like the ones above first.

​

🔑 Key Insights: Getting rid of one item a day can get you to remove 265 items in a year! Taking pictures of your most sentimental items can be an AMAZING way to hold the memory, but also remove the clutter if needed. Donating is a prominent tip and applies in this case because you may be attached to something, but can rest easy knowing that someone else will have use for it and enjoy it!

​

⚡ Quick Takeaways: Decluttering gets easier as you go! It's like a muscle that gets stronger the more progress you make. Furthermore, decluttering in layers/steps, from least sentimental to most sentimental, is an ideal way to get through decision fatigue and prep yourself to remove the harder-to-declutter emotional attachment items.
