Today’s episode is inspired by a recent Becoming Minimalist article entitled 56 Things Most People Keep Forever (That You Can Let Go Of). I’ve taken my top ten from this list and explain WHY I decluttered them as well as helpful resources and tips in case you want to do the same.

Resources Mentioned:
