Yeah, so giving it back to charity.

And the fifth bag is perhaps to sell things like the vintage apps right now, eBay.

I mean, it's so much easier to put things in thrift stores right now, online, in person.

So perhaps you can still make some money from your decluttering.

So by doing that, you will see you will be very fast released 20 to 30 percent of the things that are in that closet because you use that system.

And thousands of my students have done that system and they really feel it's so easy.

Sometimes it's hard if you have to do it by yourself.

Because you're like, oh, I got this from my aunt.

Oh, this is from that part of my life.

So get yourself a declutter buddy if you want to.

Or stay very disciplined and ask yourself, will I use that in the next year?

Because it's possible that, you know, it brings you joy, but will you use it?

I'm very practical, right?

And if you really feel it's something that you want to keep because it gives you a great memory, create what I call a treasure box.

So both me, my husband, my kids, they have a treasure box.

Yeah.

So we put things in there over the years, like there's like a part of, you know, when they were toddlers or children or, you know, certain times of their life, they lived in a certain place.

Like, oh, I want to keep that picture from my friends.

I want to keep that little gadget.

So we have a treasure box and that you can keep, but don't make it like a treasure box as big as your home.
