    You and I are on the same path! I am decluttering years of stuff to have more breathing room in my home. I have found that it is a journey in phases. At first I could trash or donate what I did not want in my life easily. Then I got to the family things from generations past, kid stuff and stuff that brought up memories I did not want to deal with. I now have an “I don’t want to deal with it now”box in my closet. As time goes on I am having a much easier time getting the sentimental and emotional dealt with and out in a place of honor.

    @teresa4444 hi! I recommend tackling one small project at a time. do you have anything that’s #1 on your to-do list in your home?

    Way to go @teresa4444 !! Decluttering can be a lengthy process, but taking it one step at a time is my biggest recommendation.

    Decluttering and organizing are so underrated, thanks for sharing. As for the suggestions, I'd recommend going through your stuff every month or two and getting rid of things you don't like/use.

    Most importantly, make decluttering as enjoyable as possible and don't rush and don't try to organize everything at once.
