6. Include your family

Don’t be afraid to include your family in the decluttering process; they have to know what’s going on with all the stuff! You might throw away something that they need or want to keep, and if your significant other finds out, it might get messy!

One of the most important reasons why you should include your family in decluttering is collaboration. When it comes to this particular process, it is crucial to collaborate in order to do the task quickly and better. Yes, if you have a big space where you want to declutter, you might need some help because it takes a lot of time.

Another reason why the whole family should be a part of decluttering is respect. We always have to show respect to the ones close to us; they need to know that we care for them and, by default, their things. None of us wants to get into a fight with our family about a thing that we might have thrown away by mistake.
