[quote=Anonymous]The Dana White book Decluttering at the Speed of Life is so good and helpful. I have it on audiobook and turn it on and go. Her way was so much easier for me than Marie Kondo. Plus she’s funny and relatable.

You can start with easy stuff like look around for trash or the Fly Lady’s 5 minute boogie where you put away, throw away or give away as much as you can in 5 minutes.

Sentimental stuff is hard, but you can work through it. I lost both of my parents this year and dealing with their stuff has been overwhelming. I just realistically cannot keep or cherish all the things my mom kept and cherished. And frankly the stuff my grandmother owned is mostly meaningless to me. It’s kind of sad that so many “treasures” don’t really hold up through the generations. I like to think when i donate them that maybe they will find people who appreciate them.

I also have a terminal disease and don’t want my kids to be drowning in my old report cards when I’m gone, so that’s been a bit of a wake-up call. [/quote]
