This isn't a "how to" question as in pack in box, haul off to charity or sell on ebay. But more a how to emotionally let go.
I got too much stuff that's starting to clutter..many are just sentimental. I want to donate or sell on ebay but struggle. How do folks decide what to keep, what to part with?
Here's a good article I found about letting go.

Initially, I didn’t want to let go of anything. If you’ve ever lost a parent, a loved one, or been through a similarly emotional time, then you understand exactly how hard it was for me to let go of any of those possessions. So instead of letting go, I wanted to cram every trinket, figurine, and piece of oversized furniture into that storage locker in Ohio, floor to ceiling. That way I knew that Mom’s stuff was there if I ever wanted it, if I ever needed access to it for some incomprehensible reason. I even planned to put a few pieces of Mom’s furniture in my home as subtle reminders of her.
