• Once you are done with most of the decluttering task, then begin categorizing. Make space for each of these categories. Divide things into the following and keep them separacalltoy
  • stuff you will keep handy
  • things you want to store
  • things to sell-off
  • what you wish to donate
  • stuff to be thrown away
