How do you know what to organize/save and what to toss? If I’d toss everything that doesn’t spark joy I’d be down to a beanbag, book and coffee mug.

My main concern is my clothing. I easily fluctuate in sizes, a lot. Take 5 different sizes and multiply that by clothing types (and underwear and shoes!) and seasons, and there’s so much (thank God). How do you know what and when to save and when to toss/donate?

I just watched hoarding episodes and I don’t want to end up there...

I've learning to remove everything, put back only what I use, and then someone else throws everything out so I don't have to look.

But when your size keeps changing every few months, you might not currently be using certain clothes but will need them when your size changes.

I wish I knew 🤦‍♀️

I've started with tossing if it doesn't fit well most of the time, is stained or needs repairs I'll honestly never get done. or if it attracts too much pet hair 😳🤣

Are you actually going back to the older clothes or buying new when you change sizes?
