16 January 2025, 11:00 am - 28 minutes 52 seconds440: When Decluttering Snags Happen
Today, I’m answering questions you’ve asked over at AskDanaKWhite.com. The general theme of these questions is, “Oh no! I was decluttering, and then something happened that made it harder!”
- So what if an item has a home, but you can’t “get” to its home because you are borderline approaching hoarder status?
- What do you do when you have an item that needs something done, e.g., an old laptop that needs stuff taken off before disposal or a photo album you want to chuck away, but you need to take all the photos out first?
- I do most of my decluttering during baby’s nap time (she sleeps in our room) or after all the kids are in bed. How do I avoid keep piles when there are so many things I can’t “take it there now”?
- How do I now downsize/remove containers from this point, even though everything has a home?
- I remember I have (something), and I need it but can’t find it. Help?!?!?
