54. 10 Decluttering Questions That Actually Work—Including the ‘Would You Buy It Again?’ Test
When the decision feels emotional, overwhelming, or stuck—sometimes it’s not about trying harder. It’s about asking better questions.
In this episode of the Downsizing Roadmap Podcast, we walk you through 10 powerful decluttering questions that cut through guilt, obligation, and uncertainty to help you move forward with more confidence. From the “Would I buy this again?” test to prompts that challenge identity, obligation, and emotional clutter—these questions will help you get unstuck when “keep or toss” just isn’t cutting it.
You’ll learn:
- When to use each question during the downsizing process
- Why some questions work better for sentimental or inherited items
- How to apply these questions room by room
- How to shift your mindset from guilt to progress
Whether you're sorting through a full house or just starting to pare down, these tools are here to help. You don’t have to be ruthless—you just need a better way to think about your stuff.
🎧 Listen now and keep a notepad handy. One of these questions might just be your breakthrough.
