01.36: I need help with modifications for lower back/mobility problems...how can you clean when you can hardly walk or carry things but need to be able to at least do the minimum?
08.03: I really want to apply the no mess decluttering method, but there are areas I think absolutely have to be completely emptied to sort through. What do I do? Do you have a way to deal with these?
15.00: Do you advise for someone like me. That suffers with chronic fatigue and RA health issues. There's no way I can carry one thing to it's place at a time.
20.12: I'm moving to a larger (double my current size) historic home with tons of storage...what's the best way to keep stuff from creeping in and accumulating?
23.50: Do you have any advice for those living with a hoarder? I do know that it's a mental illness and he's not in any kind of therapy. He just doesn't tolerate empty surfaces very well.
28.18: Every time I start getting the mess under control something throws me off and I end up starting over, last time the kitchen sink broke and I couldn't do the dishes. How do I deal with life happening?
30.51: My partner and I have so much dirty clothes. All over the floor. I have 7 bags bagged up too. Should I just get rid of the clothes if they've been bagged for a year. We obviously haven't missed them.
30.53: If you were going to build a house... any ideas to figure out how to have the right amount of storage vs. too much and leaving room for clutter?
33.01: How to get motivation to do the daily things?
35.01: I have a small corner of my apartment designated for my tiny home office. I have art supplies, pens, limited office supplies, etc. How do I decide what kind of container to use for them?
37.46: I am needing to clean the guest room before we have company next month. I'm afraid that I don't have enough time and often I have so much work to do, the times I plan to work on it, get delayed because I am doing other work for my businesses.
39.31: do you have any suggestions about getting rid of university stuff after graduating? I have kept my notes and books for years and some are useful, However, I am overwhelmed by the amount.
42.20: Had a rough year, lots of Shop Therapy. Had some success myself. But now need tips on Hubs moving a bunch from his storage unit. He's been supportive, but learning.
43.21: Highschool yearbooks?
44.38: Moving from multi-generational home 3 floors, 5 bedroom, where I've lived for 33 years. Grandad passed away, so much stuff! Not sure where we end up when probate is done. How to minimize?
45.34: Tips for decluttering the hard or head exploding things- that's all that's left for us!! Specifically home decor and hobby/work related items.
46.36: recs for non-clutter stocking stuffers/gifts for kids?
47.20: I am newly bereaved and live alone in WY now. I have pretty bad health issues, and my children want me to move near some of them so they can tale care of me. I have a daunting amount of stuff to sort, pack, or donate. My question is how to be motivated when merely putting a dish in the empty dishwasher is just too much?
49.36: making decisions is very difficult for me
50.51: Please remind me how to take it there where the place has items blocking the place.
54.36: ?? Any suggestions on what to do with bunches of old unused keys?
55.21: Oh the Facebook group is part of the coarse?
55.35: ??? How do I change out regular decor while adding Xmas decor without making a huge mess??? PLEASE HELP
56.07: I have cans and bowls of old keys too...was going to throw them out, but then found the missing key for the ATV...now I'm scared to pitch them.
56.48: ??? Disposable holiday plates and napkins keep creeping in I always take a new package and then bring home the remaining ones...
57.19: Keep or donate baby clothes for future kids??
