As someone who writes about decluttering and organisation for a living, I’m all for keeping a home as clutter-free as possible. But I’m also human and have a constant worry that one day I’ll need that odd sock or those old charging cables, which is why I also understand that some things feel downright illegal to declutter.
Yes, I love a good decluttering method as much as the next person, but sometimes it makes sense to keep certain items for those ‘just in case’ moments. After all, we often keep clutter because it’s practical or has sentimental value to us, and getting rid of it while ticking off our decluttering checklist could leave us short-changed or upset later down the line.
