Want to lead a less cluttered life? Throw away everything you own that’s on this list. Emily Co:

Cleaning out clutter can be a tough task, especially if you have been letting it build up for a while. Instead of setting aside a huge block of time to take care of months’ or years’ worth of clutter, take baby steps by throwing away only one type of item a day. And by throwing away, I mean recycling, selling, donating, or — as the last resort — trashing.

The list is long. Very long. But some of them make very good sense. Examples:

• The other side of a pair of lost earrings
• Ticket stubs
• Socks with holes
• Expired medication
• Scratched non-stick cookware
• Old unused batteries
• Expired food

Live long and prosper.
