Spring cleaning life

Now that I look up from my smartphone, I see clutter all around me.  There are books I've bought that I've never read.  Clothes I bought that don't quite fit.  Things I've saved up thinking vaguely I'd use them some day.  Snacks that are tossed after a few weeks in the cupboard.  Accessories that I don't really like much.  Gifts that I hope to re-circulate.  Appliances I had hoped would ease my life a little more.  Sentimental keepsakes which are of no use.   Things I've bought because they were a great deal even if I had no particular need for the item.  And so much more.

I read about minimalists who are thoughtful about what possessions they add on.  I know I won't be able to turn minimalist but I do wonder if there are some things I could learn from them.  I hear about Marie Kondo and her methods to deal with clutter.  These expert opinions may help me to understand and fix the problem of clutter both in my physical and digital world I hope.
