De-Cluttering my life

Your closet would make a fun hiding spot  .

Haha, I totally agree! Decluttering my home feels great—until I realize I’ve just moved everything from one pile to another!

Great point, getting rid of other peoples stuff ...

I can relate to this so much. When we finally tackled the clutter in our house here in Tulare County, I tried to do everything at once and just burned out. What worked better was picking one small space, like a single closet or one kitchen cupboard, and finishing it completely before moving on. I used three boxes for keep, donate, and toss, plus a maybe box that I sealed and dated. If I had not opened it in six months, out it went. Stopping new stuff from coming in made the biggest difference, and now a short weekly tidy keeps it from creeping back.
