Kiwirose People usually go through all their clothes, first, and break them into sub-categories. A lot of OPs have shoe racks in the hall, coat cupboards/hooks, etc.
Each category can be broken down into however many bites we need - just stick with that category! From my experience, starting another category, before finishing the first, is quite derailing! Some OPs manage to deal with 2 at a time, and we all randomly discard Stuff, from any category, that we are sick of seeing!
We may have to/want to revisit areas later - many OPs find themselves continuing to weed out tee-shirts, undies, or coats, and shoes. Sometimes, a category will repeatedly nag us, until we are satisfied - we are ourselves changing, continually, through the process. This is particularly true of clothes, because they are the exterior expresssion of who we are/ were/ want to be.
BlahBlahUsername I'm swamped by paperwork, from the year Dot - it's all through the house, in boxes, and bags, and piled on floors.
There is too much to deal with, all at once. So, when I began kondoing, in January, I sorted out a simple set of files, bills, mortgage, insurance, pension, etc and filed all the the recent bits, AND I have kept the files up to date since, by filing everything immediately.
The rest of the paperwork has been dumped in boxes, unsorted. This has cleared space, and the stacked boxes are a bit more joyful than cascading piles of paperwork.
Setting up a simple filing system, has immediately helped me to see what paperwork is important enough to keep, and also identifies quite a lot, that can be trashed.
The stacked boxes are being dealt with one at a time. I empty a box, and sift the sheets into keep, trash, burn. Trash goes to recycling, (along with the box!). Confidential trash is stored in a black bag in the shed until I have another bonfire. The really small pile of stuff for keeping, is quickly filed.
