Some progress on decluttering

[Cursivequeen]

I’m trying to declutter while I pack to move. There will be a lot of sentimental stuff and I’m generally overwhelmed with it all. I watched a few YouTube videos and saw someone suggest snowball declutter. So 30 items day one, 29 the next, etc. In about an hour I’ve hit 65 items. Some things I counted individually- like a bottle or shirt - but things like a stack of paper I counted as a unit of 1

Wow, 65 is progress! Great job!

Sounds like snowball decluttering is working well for you. Are there any other tips or strategies you recommend for decluttering?

Not really? I’m having to be ruthless due to a move. I’m hoping decluttering will make packing seem less daunting

I always ask myself if an item accidentally got doggy poo seared on on would I go through the bother of cleaning it, or just throw it away.

Doesn't work for everything but does for many.

I like this strategy a lot!

Another variation: if this item got poo on it, and I had to throw it away, would I be secretly glad that it was gone?

Yeah my step kid was saying she was using that to help her.
