Meglet Aug 2019 6:29pm, 5 Aug 2019 20,429 posts	0 Meglet When I had to clear out my spare room, which had become a dumping ground, it was overwhelming and I didn't know where to start. Eventually I decided to do 'just one bag/drawer/shelf' (which also only needed a small amount of time). If that's all you do, fine, but at least it's a start. However doing 'just one' often gets you started then you do more.
Nessie Aug 2019 10:28am, 6 Aug 2019 833 posts	0 Nessie That's a good way of looking at it, Meglet. I need to remember to leave clothes for work somewhere accessible until such a time as I can do enough "one bag/drawer/shelf" bits to find anything again

Sazzahazza Aug 2019 10:36pm, 6 Aug 2019 815 posts	0 Sazzahazza Good luck Nessie, you'll feel great when you've started. I've been watching on Marie Kondo on Netflix today, she's amazing! It's spurred me on to tackle my clothes again and I love the simplicity of how she categorises her tidying up as it can be so overwhelming.

".... This month, each of you must get rid of one thing on the first day. On the second, two things. Three items on the third. So forth, and so on. Anything can go! Clothes, furniture, electronics, tools, decorations, etc. Donate, sell, or trash. Whatever you do, each material possession must be out of your house—and out of your life—by midnight each day."
