Downsizing doesn’t have to be overwhelming if you approach it with a plan. Start by setting clear goals: What do you hope to achieve? More space, less clutter, or a simpler lifestyle? Tackle one area at a time, such as a closet or a drawer, and sort items into categories: keep, donate, sell, and trash.

Set realistic time limits for decluttering sessions—30 minutes to an hour works well—and take breaks to avoid burnout. Enlist help from friends or family if the process feels too emotional or physically demanding. Celebrate small wins along the way, and remind yourself that each step brings you closer to a more streamlined, stress-free life.
