There is a wonderful little book by Marie Kondō (who has become a millionaire from this) called “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.”: https://www.amazon.com/Life-Changing-Magic-Tidying-Decluttering-Organizing/dp/1607747308/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1547221943&sr=8-3&keywords=the+magic+of+tidying+up+marie+kondo

Hold up an object or piece of clothing and ask does this bring you joy. If not, thank it and discard. Very interesting way to think about things we try to hang onto.

She also has a show now on Netflix where you can watch her work with clients. She definitely has something that’s striking a chord to help people declutter.

Doesn't work for me. My hobbies include art in a couple media, as well as woodwork, fabric work and leatherwork. Invariably when I throw out a, "scrap," I deem no longer necessary, two or three projects later, that scrap proves to have been the perfect item I, could have used.
