Decluttering advice can feel like a personality test you are constantly failing. Here is a kinder version.
Start with the easy wins
Expired items, broken things, and duplicates you forgot you owned. These decisions require zero emotional energy.
The real question to ask
Not "does this spark joy," but "have I used this in the last year, and will I realistically use it next year?"
Give yourself permission
You do not need to declutter your whole house in a weekend. One drawer done well beats one closet abandoned halfway through.
