Your garage is not a storage unit. It’s a room that happens to store things.

Here is My Take on This Topic?

Here is my take: decluttering is not about owning less or more. It is about owning what actually serves your life. Every item you keep should earn its place through utility, beauty, or genuine sentimental value. If an item fails all three tests, let it go without guilt. Your future self will thank you.
