The ALL-YEAR-ROUND job of DECLUTTERING and CLEANING our homes is daunting. Especially for those of us who HOARD, or struggle with depression, and decisions, anxiety & other MI. I'm so challenged in this way so reaching out for support. Maybe start an Declutterers Army 💪
If you suffer the same challenge or have some great suggestions - type away... 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙

Even getting a few things sorted will be a good effort today @Former-Member. It might help to have some mini goals - this cupboard or this corner of the room.
We'll be here cheering you on from the sidelines should you need some encouragement.
Hope all the ridding of stuff has been cathartic for you.

@Former-Member just me being pedantic - well done you for progress so far.
I am getting inspired to clean my spare room - not much room to move there, Am thinking even if I can move a couple of things a day, in a month things should be heaps better. I have started on magazines - have a few bags ready to go to the community health centre where they are in need.
One thing I have already done was I got some of these containers for my bathroom cabinet - one has spare shampoo, conditioner, soap in it, one for dental supplies (cups, toothbrushes, denture tabs, toothpaste) one for shaving gear, one for secret women's business, one for colognes and one for makeup cleaners, cotton tips and the like. Makes it so much easier to clean the cupboard too, take out the baskets, wipe down shelf and put back containers.
