458: Tackling Your Decluttering Challenges
•
I’m answering your decluttering questions that were submitted at AskDanaKWhite.com
- My whole house is pretty much under control now, except one thing: clothes. No matter what, they still get out of control all the time!
- What do I do when I find things that don’t belong in our home?
- To follow the container method and the progress -only method, how do we fill a tub or shelf with favorites till it’s full- without dumping everything on the floor first?
- How do you know when you’ve gone too far? How do you know when it is time to re-clutter?
- There are things I love to do in this space like take notes, make list, collect my thoughts, and imagine. Lately I have stopped writing almost completely because it is too much of an effort to go get what I need.
- Many times, things get left on the counter for weeks on end. Is this likely a clutter threshold issue because the place where the items belong is too cluttered to put things away? Or is it a "not taking it there now" issue?
- Decluttering advice for couples who are moving in together but have both previously lived in their own homes?
