Downsizing?
Lost a loved one and in the process of letting go of things?
These moments can be emotionally difficult–set boundaries for yourself.
Order a dumpster if you can. Whatever is moved to the garage from the living space should not return to the living space. Donate it, dispose of it, or sell it.
Remember, it's ok to let go of stuff. Avoid feeling "weighed down" by too many possessions.
Living alone? Sometimes, it's ok to live with a little chaos. Complete your decluttering process at a pace that is comfortable for you.

Strategically edit your closet. Turn all your hangers in after wearing an item. Re-hang with hanger hook turned out. Revisit your closet after several months have passed. Donate/ sell the clothing you never wore.
A great link that helps you decide what to donate.
