01.33: I do a five minute pickup near the living room. There's a laundry basket of papers in the corner of the dining room. Should I declutter these before I tidy the kitchen area? Which one would you do first?
06.45: I have so many clothes of different sizes for pregnancy and postpartum, how do you declutter during a time when you need so many different sizes and styles of clothes?
13.46: Even though we stay on top of dishes and do a quick pickup often I find myself stuck in maintenance mode of the everyday visible spaces and not getting to the non-visible spaces.
17.46: I'm stuck with "take it there now". Any advice for making this more workable? Am I missing a step?
20.54: My home got flooded and all my stuff was packed randomly into boxes. I hope to use this opportunity to declutter.
22.53: How can I overcome my fear of losing parts of myself when I try to discern what to get rid?
30.27: My laundry room gets messy again every couple of days and I haven't found a way to prevent things from gathering there. Not really clothes but to dos and I don't know what else. Give me ruthless advice please.
32.02: Please some encouragement on how to declutter/ sort through kids toys that are sentimental due to memories. Not sure if we'll be having more kids or not, don't know what to do.
39.47: Hot wheel tracks specifically are really difficult to organize and store. I'm ready to trash them all.
41.02: What if you've been decluttering for four years now? and you've put off all the sentimental and identity stuff and now you need to deal those items and it's overwhelming? How to start?
43.22: I'm a middle school assistant theatre director how would you organize the large props/costume closet? I am not the only using the coset so " where would you look for it" will be difficult.
46.44: Is it possible to live minimally and be a prepper. I want to be both and they often clash.
49.23: What do you do when your container is too big and you don't know how much you should keep? We have a lot of farming and homesteading projects.
51.45: Clutter threshold decreased 15 yrs ago with health crisis. Worked over 5 yrs to get rid of trash, donate, put away now, it's contained. Too much still left. How do I get rid of more when stalled?
