How the hell does anyone do this?
I joke that we have 'the hoarding gene' from both sides of the family, but it's not just B1 and her boxes of files and receipts from 5, 10, 15 years ago, it's me and "things that might yet be useful".
Also: bottles and bottles of stuff: cleaning things, glues, sprays, etc, much of it not-yet-used or half-used or unusued. And the issue is primarily that we don't have the space to store all this...
Lounges arrived and they are nice, but very large! I asked the cleaners to give them a once-over this morning and I'll do another clean with baking soda and TheAlso, I need to sort out the bookshelf issue in my study ASAP, because now I have a too-wide shelf that I don't need and must put on Marketplace or one of the local groups. Except that I need to find the hardware for it, which I haven't seen in weeks.
UGH.
It was a really good purchase too. But, yes, sorting and throwing out. Still so much to do.

Even just being able to sort things by boxes. "These are craft things, these are cleaning things, these are pest control" etc....

In my family, the trick is usually "have a trusted family member with no emotional connection to the stuff and less hoarding tendencies sit with you as you make decisions for an outside opinion." But that depends on having such a person willing and able to help ...

I try to do a little cluttering every year but it's super hard. and i just seem to end up with the same amount of stuff--if not more--the next year.
