Instead of decluttering room by room, focus on categories like clothes, books, paperwork, or sentimental items. This technique, made popular by Marie Kondo, helps you see how much you own in a single category and makes it easier to downsize.
�� Create a Donation Station
Set up a designated area in your home for items you plan to donate. Once the box or bag is full, schedule a drop-off at a local charity or consignment shop.
