Just say no.
While it might not be easy, saying no to anything that adds clutter to your life leaves room for what's most important to you.
"You need to say no to everything that doesn't matter," says Oliver Emberton. "Practice saying no to everything by default, and making rare, precious exceptions."

Quora user Mark Pan suggests moving to another country for a couple of years. The transition will force you to let go of big complications such as an unfulfilling job or a messy relationship, as well as force you to pare down your belongings.
"Once you come back, you'll have much less baggage, both tangible and intangible, and be able to start fresh in many aspects," he says.
