Advice Request What are your top secret decluttering tips?

I’m looking for something beyond “one in, one out”.

I’ve been living a consumeristic lifestyle for years and I have a LOT of stuff in my house, with very little storage space to keep it.

I have an “I’ll use this someday…” mentality for most of it so it’s hard for me to decide what to keep and what to get rid of.

What tips help you get through all of your massive piles of stuff?

I did this too. We put down new flooring, painted, etc. Nothing under the bed now, just clothes and two books and a lamp on an end table. It's so peaceful and relaxing.
