Your home is like a giant inbox that’s been filled with too many material possessions over the years. It’s time to ruthlessly archive and delete.

How did he know???

“Life clutter” may take on many forms: physical belongings, technological fillers (such as alarms or apps), non-life-giving calendar items, even unhealthy relationships.

It’s important for me to remember that clutter isn’t just the stuff in the corner. It’s also my notification settings.

People bring stuff into their home and then keep it forever because:

• • It cost money. (I paid good money for this!)
  • It was free or a bargain. (How could I pass up such a great deal?)
  • It would just become more trash on an overpolluted planet.
  • It has significance for someone else.
  • Guilt. Someone thought enough of you to buy you a concrete garden statue of a squirrel. Your grandmother left you her teacup collection in her will.
