Decluttering is one technique to optimize personal space without sacrificing the aesthetics and comfort of how one lives in their personal, social, and/or work environments. This can be accomplished by categorizing all goods, such as books, clothes, and devices, and removing any items that are no longer required. Items should also be stored in an organized manner, such as in drawers or on shelves.
