There’s this technique that people in minimalism circles talk about where you pack up all your stuff as if you were moving.
Yes, that seems like a reasonable way to approach this. Pack up your stuff, even write the date on the box.
It is possible to err in both directions. Probably it is more natural to collect more things than you need (because once you have those extra things, it requires a conscious decision to get rid of them). But I have also seen people underestimate the fact they they will need more of something (e.g. plates, forks) if someone visits them. Even if you know you will never have visitors, it is good to have an extra plate or two, because sometimes they break.
