I’ve got movers coming in less than a month. Full move-out in a little over a month. I feel completely immobilized by the amount of things I no longer want or need but feel the need to find them new homes.…
So, I have a fairly common problem: I have clothes that I am trying to sort and potentially get rid off, mainly because I have limited space. Unlike posts I went through, I have a slightly different issue.…
I had a cute breakfast nook table with two stools in my kitchen, but we never really used it as the dining room was steps away. It was a clutter gatherer! I really liked it, but it was constant work to keep it cleared off.…
I’m decluttering my bookshelves, trying to go from 3 bookshelves to just 1. I have a few professional/career awards. I don’t want to take them into my office because we work on open cubes and I don’t want the clutter there or to look like I’m bragging.…
Share your wins here - big or small. What did you declutter this week? Examples include: Digital Clutter: emails, digital photos, digital music or video collection... Storage: cupboards and closets, drawers, storage boxes...…
Since a lot of people have shared that counting helps them keep track of their decluttering progress, whether it's the calendar challenge or something else, I was wondering if anyone here feels similarly to me that counting seems to make me feel more…
I’ve had mental health issues for years, and over the last few years they’ve got progressively worse. I work at home but often feel overwhelmed with the visual clutter around the flat.…
IT STILL LOOKS AWFUL but I did my best. This is 31 years of living in a townhouse condo with a garage. I have ALWAYS been able to park my car inside but just kept collecting and collecting.…
I'm currently 6 months pregnant and my house is just stressing me out completely. Anytime we clean up and make it look good it looks terrible within a few weeks. I just dont know how to keep up with everything.…
I started decluttering a couple years ago partly in anticipation of moving. We’re now a couple months out from the move and still not done. 😬 Looking back at how much we’ve gotten rid of I keep telling myself it would be *so much worse* without all the…
Randomly saw it in the bookstore, flipped through it and bought it. I havent read any of Marie Kondo's book and only associate her with "Does this spark joy?" but this book by Hideko Yamashita touches on some philosophy about human's possession with…
I am terrible at decluttering. I deliberate and get depressed and frozen and can't do much of anything. I can find a use for ANYTHING and since things have gotten more expensive over the past five years and my income has not, (fixed income) I am really…
A lot of the decluttering process is about mental blocks more than anything. I have been decluttering pretty successfully for a while until I hit a wall with a few items I kept going back and forth on, and objectively, I should've kept them.…
Failure is part of life. Share your decluttering challenges and failures here. Examples include: Emotional clutter Not enough time Getting overwhelmed Routing (recycling, donating, trash...) If you're just venting, or don't want advice, please let us know…
I have a difficult time sorting through clothes to get rid of since some are still in good condition and styles come and go. Getting rid of the worn out clothes is easy, but the ones that still have use left in them feels difficult.…
Just a reminder to take a hard look at your furniture and other bulky objects in addition to the small stuff. I’ve thinned down my closet and my book collection and even my jewelry box multiple times and my (objectively quite small) bedroom was still…
That's the question I ask myself when I'm stuck, and most of the time it's clarifying. I've gotten a whole lot more picky about things I choose to bring into the house, so it's easy to picture myself considering this or that object and putting it back on…
I live in a small apartment, so I don’t have much storage. Before moving in, my dad even commented that there will be no room to store food, let alone pots and pans. And I don’t even have roommates. But my apartment also feels so cluttered.…
I posted my progress with my condo garage cleaning 2-3 days go. (Wish I had a before, before pic). I put my mind to it and got the job finished today.…
Went to Hobby Lobby last night because I thought material was on sale, (it wasn't) but spring was 50% off. So I walked around looking at all the stuff and realized I didn't want this stuff, nor did I want to make room for it.…
