00.48: I understand the concept of the container and it being a limit but what if there is not a predetermined limit container for things?
10.42: How do you use the container concept for shared containers where there is a disagreement on priorities/favorite's between the people that use containers?
13.00: My problem is the things that I want to keep have no homes because I currently have no space for them. How do I maintain my momentum?
19.21: If the answer to "where would you look for it first?" is not a spot you want to store things and nothing else comes to mind, What's your thought process for finding a new place?
20.43: How do I stop myself from justifying and trying to make it fit? I feel like many people in my family do this too, like when my husband plays Tetris with the camping stuff.
25.36: How to make 5 beds fit in 2 small bedrooms? I want to trade bedrooms with the boys so they have the biggest room. They have a triple bunk bed.
28.22: I am decluttering. Some things upstairs need to be homed in the basement, but the basement needs to be decluttered to make space. Do I work in the basement before continuing upstairs?
32.28: How to skip items? For example when decluttering a catch all spot I found a sentimental item I don't want to deal with now. Leaving it will attract clutter; moving it seems like stuff shifting?
34.52: My nightstand is plagued with cords. Have you seen a table top cord organizer?
35.24: I've been following your steps for years and have a new problem according to hubby. What do you do with all the empty cabinets and drawers?
37.07: How do you deal with baby items some of which are sentimental.
39.42: Do you have any tricks or methods to be less sentimental after you have already decluttered? Is it how much space do you have? And then what if it's valuable too?
42.10: What is your paper decluttering method?
42.32: Just reorganized the bedroom no place for perfume bottles?
44.27: I have 300$ purses that were gifted to me repeatedly. I have about 6. I cannot sell them because I live with the person who bought them. What do I do?
45.34: How to prevent recluttering?
48.02: I have an attic full of sentimental items everything ends up there as that's the place I'd look, but I need to declutter as most things have been boxed up for yrs. Any advice?
51.10: I've inherited the job of handling my cognitive declining mothers financial affairs...but I have no room for her paperwork. Help!
53.20: I have framed diplomas that used to be at my office, I now work at home and don't really want to hang them in my home. What do I do with that?
