If you’re like me, your room is filled with little knick-knacks, papers, clothes, and straight up junk that you haven’t actually used in years. You probably hardly even know it’s there. Instead of telling yourself, “I might need it someday,” it’s time to part with these items. Start 2015 by de-cluttering. You won’t even notice these things are gone.
