Free Decluttering Checklist: “Do I Really Need This?” – Closet Edition

Use this quick checklist as you go through your wardrobe. Tape it to the wall. Read it aloud. Tattoo it on your inner arm. (Kidding... mostly.)

✅ The "Keep or Toss" Test

Ask these questions for each item:

1. Would I buy this again today?

2. Do I feel confident and comfortable in this?

3. Does it fit me right now—not past or fantasy me?

4. Have I worn it in the past 12 months?

5. Does it go with at least 2 other things I own?

6. Is it free of damage, stains, or weird smells?

7. Does it match my current lifestyle?

8. Am I keeping it just because it was expensive or “on sale”?

9. Does this item make me feel like a backup dancer for a tour I didn’t audition for?

10. Would I be excited if someone gave this to me today?

🧳 Sorting Guide

• LOVE IT: Fits, flatters, you wear it. Keep it.

• MAYBE: Try it on. If it doesn’t spark joy or mild applause, out it goes.

• NOPE: Doesn't fit, doesn't feel good, doesn’t suit your current life = Donate, sell, or swap.
