How often do you declutter? / myLot

I noticed that my room wasn't as messy as it seemed. It just has too many things. I have a lot of cat toys, and cardboard scratchers, I have a few empty boxes, I have too many books. My mom and I decluttered a while ago. We regret it because we threw away many new books. I should have sold them or donate them. Now I feel stuck because I don't have enough space to keep my things. And I can't get rid of them because I spent money. The books are new and I have never read them. I moved all my things to another room because there is water damage in my room. The problem wasn't solved yet. But I wonder what I should do with all those things. They are not garbage. I need many of those things, but I don't have enough room for them. Do you declutter your rooms often? I will try to donate some of my old stuff. I will get rid of those boxes. But with my useful things, I don't know what to do. If I move them in my room again the room will seem messy again. And my dad will judge me again even if his room looks awful.

Every year, I make it point to declutter a little around the house. I would use old pens and old notebooks and use them to put across my to do list or something related to my activities. I make good use of them before they are all done and dusted . Similarly I do with boxes and things . But then this is a slow way of clearing. There are times I do clear things whne I want to make way for new things in the house. There are times I have sold and donated things just to free space. And that is a good way to declutter the room. My suggestion would be sell and donate whatever is not required for long time. Take care!
