Kick up the bum please

[FizzyLizzie]

I have spent the last few years being ruthless with clutter and cleaning (although I am not obsessive) so the house is in good order. I have also been doing the garage but it’s got messy again. There is a fair amount of stuff that I can sell, some stuff to go in the loft (Christmas tree etc) and some stuff to be chucked. I am having a brain fart and do notknow where to begin. Someone give me a kick and some instructions!

I need a kick up my arse so I'm not sure I'm the best to advise , but I would start with the stuff to be chucked as it will be easier to sort the stuff that's staying?

Have three bags. Point yourself towards a cluttered corner. Empty it into: Keep, Throw Out, Charity/Sell.

You could have a fourth called Unsure.

I forget to say the first should be Keep…..then, Put-Into the Right Place.

Thank you! I didn’t even think of chucking the rubbish first - shows how much of a brain fart I was having!

Also I go space by space.

The 3 box method recommended by scrolling does work well I've found.
I'm suffering from clutter creep too, so I plan to take my own advice today!
