24 // Instead of “Does it Spark Joy?” Ask These 4 Questions to Help You Declutter

When it comes to decluttering, you need to ask yourself some tough questions. Marie Kondo made this type of questioning popular with her favorite: “Does it spark joy?” While this may work for some items, I personally don’t think it’s a very helpful litmus test for deciding what to keep and what to toss. So today I’m sharing four lesser-known, but powerful questions that I use regularly in my own decluttering practice that will help you declutter more effectively.
