Make separate piles of each, and within no time you will have cleared extra space in every nook and corner.
It is essential to focus on beginning with the garage and end it with the inner rooms or vice versa. Do not mix up items from all the rooms at once and create confusion. Follow a systematic order and keep up with it till all the space is cleared.
When it comes to de-clutter, ask yourself, while decluttering - do you need the item? If you don't sell it or reuse it for any other space. If the item has no such use, then trash it. Do not hoard for the sake of having your room space filled up. A minimalist room has much more positive vibes to it than a crowded room.
