Do You Have Any Tips For Managing Clutter In Your House?

Time to clean!

One of my goals this year is to reduce the amount of things I own. Over time, I've accumulated so many trinkets, sweaters I hardly wear, and gifts I never liked but never got rid of.

And living in a small apartment, I really don't have the space for all of the random things I've collected — but I'm overwhelmed by where to start. I also know other people who are motivated to get some cleaning done, so I need your help!

For example, do you have any tips for getting rid of clothes? Like, perhaps you have a set timeline for how long you keep certain items before donating them?

E!

Or maybe you have some general rules you follow for what you choose to keep and toss.
