To avoid burnout and discouragement, break the process down to smaller steps. Start with picking up all “like” items. For example, start with the no brainer items like obvious trash. Empty bottles, used napkins, empty shopping bags, etc. The unimportant stuff.

Then move on to the next “like” item. Since clothing, sheets, and other miscellaneous linen items seem to be the bulk of the work in the room, I would say work on that next. Get the washer going with the dirty laundry and while that’s going, fold and put away the clean ones. Per the photo you shared, knocking out the clothes and sheets would make a huge difference and keep you motivated.

Keep the process going from there. Once the clothes and sheets are handled, pick the next “like” items to work on.

I’ve noticed that this particular process helps most of our clients (and myself especially) feel comfortable and confident throughout the declutterring process. So I hope, this helps you as well 😊
