Often we find it hard to let go of things because we see its potential (or current) usefulness. Some people have the ability to see more usefulness in items than others. So if you are one of those people, and if everything you own is useful, you can’t declutter based on usefulness – you’ll get nowhere. You need to change it so that you’re basing it on boundaries and your goals. If your goal is to have a clear kitchen counter, then you need to fit it all in the cupboards. That’s your goal. If it doesn’t fit, it goes – no matter its usefulness. You’ll find that you’ll make room for the most important, and what doesn’t fit can go because it doesn’t help you reach your goals. You need to be okay with getting rid of useful items. Once you accept that it’s okay, you’ll be able to move forward. Don’t give in to the fear – if you throw something out and then “need” (read: could use) it later, then you’ll cope – you’ll improvise or borrow. You’re smart, you’d cope just fine.
