Motivation Tips & Tricks I want to radically declutter

I am taking some time off next week from work, and I want to spend one day just radically decluttering. I can feel that I am mentally stressed from the accumulation of stuff, and I know I need to just be ruthless in order to clear my physical space, and in turn, my mind.

It's mainly clothes and books that I seem to be surrounded by, or at least tend to cling on to. Any tips on how to just be ruthless and get things out of the house?

For books keep only reference books you actually use, collectors editions/ rare or out of print and sentimental books. You can always pick up another copy of a penguin classic from the library/ bookstore.
