If you're not sure what to do with an item that you're not quite ready to part with, ask yourself these questions:
• Have I used this item in the past year?
• Will it be needed on a definite date in the future?
• Do I love it?
• Does this item serve a worthwhile purpose in my life?
• Do I need to keep it for legal or tax purposes?
• Is it more important to me to keep this item rather than have the space it occupies?
• Has anyone else in my home used it in the past year?
• Does someone in my household love it?
• Could I/we get another one easily if needed?
Scoring: There are no right or wrong answers, but a "yes" answer to any one of the above questions provides a possible reason to keep that item. If you answer "no" to every question, it's probably a good idea to toss the item.
