Questions to Ask While Decluttering

Writer: Karen MartinKaren Martin



Decluttering can feel daunting, but asking the right questions makes the process easier and more intentional. These simple prompts help you decide what stays and what goes, ensuring your space reflects your needs and values.


  1. Do I Use This?

Be honest. If you haven’t used it in the past year, it might be time to let it go.


  1. Does It Bring Me Joy?

Inspired by Marie Kondo, this question helps identify items that truly add happiness to your life.


  1. Would I Buy This Again?

If you wouldn’t purchase it today, it’s a strong sign you may not need it.


  1. Does It Serve a Purpose?

Items that are purely functional or have sentimental value should earn their keep. Otherwise, reconsider their place.


  1. Am I Keeping This Out of Guilt?

Holding onto gifts, hand-me-downs, or purchases you regret doesn’t serve you. Let go without guilt.


  1. Is It Worth the Space?

Every item takes up physical and mental space. Only keep what adds value to your life.


  1. By thoughtfully answering these questions, you can declutter with confidence and create a home that feels calm and clutter-free.
