Thank you all for your comments! I’m so glad you found this useful and a lot of you are on your own path to simplifying that’s great.

Mary, I’m sending you a separate email but I am really sorry to hear about all the stuff you’re having to deal with.

Very timely post for me! I am in the midst of some serious decluttering. I like your point #1. Doing it one drawer at a time, is so much less daunting and over time you make a real difference in your clutter.

I’m going to try your timer idea!

this is a wonderful post! In the back-to-school season I am so worried about all the things I need to acquire. And believe it or not, I am gearing up for the holidays already, and trying to imagine what I can give others that will not turn into clutter! I especially like your tip about keeping a box handy…I am going to have to do that in my bedroom for unwanted clothing! Great post.

Having more stuff than you can use or love is actually being out of integrity. Once I realized that, I complete things and that also means when I see something that is out of order I deal with it straight away. Out of order refers to things I don’t use and are taking up space I could use for something else. This really works for me, this mental shift.

Hi Sherri! Great post!

I am at the overwhelmed stage. I have always struggled with clutter. Now I have my mother-in-law’s clutter right beside mine, since we moved her into assisted living. She has twice as much as I do. I am making progress, but it is so slow. I find myself being really resentful, because I am having to deal with this. She has two daughters, and they don’t want to deal with it.

What she has is just a fraction of what she originally had. We’ve moved her a couple of times and dealt with storage units and a small business. I have really had it with all this stuff.

If I didn’t love my husband so much, I would have left a long time ago.

Of course, this all happened just as I was making some headway with my own clutter.
