   Hello Annie, I came across this post of yours from Pinterest (via Caroline Joy / Unfancy). I’m an avid declutter-er myself, and am very thankful for your idea at number 2. While I regularly ask myself “when was the last time I wore/used this?”, switching this to “when WILL BE the next time I wear/use this?” makes perfect sense. Thanks for the advice to remember to live in the now xo
