How can I get rid of stuff? I have a slight hoarding problem so I heard things I dont really need. I want to make my room less crowded. What can I do?

hoarding is a slippery slope from clinging to things out of sentimentality. it’s hard to let go of things especially if you feel they might be useful later on, or hold a memory you’re afraid of losing. for the things you’re keeping for their potential usefulness, give yourself a time limit to keep the item (depending on what it is, maybe a month maximum). if you haven’t done said project or used the item for its potential purpose by that time, toss it. for the sentimental items, find an active way to keep them. either work it into home decor or start an album collection. if it doesn’t have a place in your home, it shouldn’t have a place in your life. if if the sentiment is rooted in a person you’ve lost, ask yourself if that person would rather you live in a functional space that makes you happy rather than prioritizing objects that clutter your life. it’s about people, not things.
