Every item in your home reflects your past, present, or hopes for the future. Creating an Outrageously Wonderful home means keeping what supports your actual life and moves you closer to your future goals.
Practical Tip:
When decluttering, ask yourself: Is keeping this item worth the cost to store and maintain it, or can it be replaced if I need it in the future?
Think about the real cost:
❤️ Space: Does it take up valuable room for something more meaningful?
❤️ Time: How often do you clean, organize, or move it?
❤️ Energy: Does it add to your mental load or make you feel guilty for not using it?
For example, if you’re digging through unused kitchen gadgets to find your favorite spatula, consider decluttering or rehoming those rarely used items. If they’re inexpensive or easy to replace, letting go can free up both physical and mental space.
MeeMaw’s biscuit cutters—the ones she used every morning for Poppy’s breakfast? Those are keepers. Store them near your flour and sugar, so they’re ready for special baking days. That way they’re always on hand to help you share traditions and stories with your family.
Thinking about the mental and physical cost of keeping an item can help you decide what to store and what to let go. Donating unused items to meaningful organizations gives them new life while transforming your home into a space that honors your past, supports your present, and aligns with your future goals.
