One of the most effective ways to tackle clutter is to use the 5-box method. Start with five boxes labeled 'Keep', 'Donate', 'Sell', 'Trash', and 'Unsure'. As you sort through your items, place each one in the appropriate box. This method not only helps you categorize your belongings but also simplifies the decision-making process. Once you're finished, you'll have a clearer idea of what you truly need and what can be let go.
