Process

Clear steps, no rushing, no pressure.

The full decision funnel

A decision framework applied to every item during the organizing session.

1

Used regularly?

Keep it, place in the most accessible spot in the closet or shelf.

2

Rarely used but meaningful?

Move to separate storage, lower priority for space.

3

Unused and no longer meaningful?

Consider donating, selling, or letting go, depending on condition.

4

Still unsure?

Set aside in a labeled box, revisit in 3 months.
