02.53: In process of moving, but I'm not as efficient as I had hoped, because I'm worried about getting it wrong in the unpacking process!
06.19: How long do you give yourself (if at all) to decide whether you're going to use something if I have somewhere I'd look for it? Example: took curtains and rod down, changed light fixtures
09.53: Tough working on decluttering having fibromyalgia and I work 3rd shift 8:45pm -7:15am then I take my daughter to school. I'm a single mom. Any tips and tricks are helpful.
15.00: What do I do with my wedding dress? I only have sons and don't want to donate to goodwill where it could become a Halloween bride of Frankenstein dress. What can I do with it?
19.21: What do I do with sentimental items that my gave me that she still wants but doesn't want to keep in her house so now it's in my house and I now feel the guilt and burden of keeping items.
21.44: Do you apply the "keep your favorites" to crafts. I own lots of markers and stickers for my reading journal. I know I have duplicates but I'm paralyzed of getting rid of the extras.
23.21: I love my books but do not read as much as I love them , I also do not want to get rid of them, most of the ones I hold tight are cookbooks yet again rarely used.
26.46: How can I persuade adult children and spouse to declutter too?
29.37: I'm struggling to get my two year old's toys under control because I feel like she has so many things that end up on the floor between plays.
32.30: We have lots of extra space. I just can't handle the amount of stuff my 4 kids leave out. They and my husband rebel against 5 min pickups (only 5 min) what do I do? Get rid of what they won't PU?
33.31: Ideas of what to do with plants and other items from funeral. My stepdad just passed away and it's overwhelming.
35.08: How do I remove clutter blinders? Or is that a process?
36.54: Can I use a different step to start out with so that I can move forward in decluttering my house? First step is to clean the kitchen and keep it clean every morning. Difficulty getting past.
39.43: I'm abut to start decluttering kitchen cabinets. How do you do no mess decluttering of spaces when you need to also wipe down/clean the containing space?
44.07: I am currently feeling the need to declutter the whole of my home and it's feeling overwhelming.
44.48: I'm having trouble finding the purpose for a room in my house and it is a room that collects clutter and is a drop zone. Any tips on how to prevent this and find a clear use of the room?
46.39: What do you do when you take the item to its storage area and it's full? Do you then have to choose an item that should leave to make space for the item?
48.31: How do you decide which item needs to leave your storage space( like after you take an item to its desired destination)? It seems a big cognitively taxing to choose which items need time leave?
50.14: How do you say "I don't have room for this" when you have empty shelves and technically can fit it somewhere in the house?
52.09: My daughter keeps all of her small toys in a basket. Any suggestions on what I can do to keep it from being dumped out to find something?
52.56: Do you have any rules of thumb for how much stuff to keep in a kids room? I can pickup their room in less than 5 mins but they cannot.
