don't get diverted
if something belongs in another room say an article of clothing just return to bedroom until you are decluttering bedroom. unless it is obviously for the bin
other tips say if starting with the attic apart from christmas tree just decide I will keep 1,2 ,3 or 4 boxes of decor,you can keep whch ones you like but what you keep has to fit into the space available
if you haven't mended or repaired something in a couple of months you aren't going to so just get rid
don't give stuff to charity unless actually in good condition. they are often charged to take things to landfill
it is just as much waste sitting in your loft being unused as being in landfill you are just postponing the landfill date, this applies to unworn clothing unused toys gadgets kitchen appliances unread books
decide a value ( this depends on your financial situation) so I'm only going to try and sell something if it is worth more than £20/30/40/50/100
if you do decide to sell get it listed immediately whether ebay vinted or facebook and give it a max of 2 weeks then recycle
once you have boxes for landfill charity recycling get them out of the house into car boot
in general do not throw other peoples stuff away without asking
