How's it going clean sweepers?

[MagicalMom]

We have been so proud of ourselves. We have felt so much lighter, happier & more comfortable since we rid ourselves of so much clutter. Until.............Yesterday our realtor came over. He will be coming back this Friday to take measurements. On his way our yesterday he also said "Friday we will discuss staging & decluttering" I was floored! LOL What if he would of seen our home a few weeks ago! LOL I still have a lot of work to do on the closets, but thought the general areas were looking much better.

So, how's it going for you?

I need help getting decluttered. I've tried Flylady and checked out several organizational books from the library. (The worst is losing those books and having to pay for them because obviously I didn't get organized.)

Any suggestions? I know I need to get off the computer, but I just look around and I don't know where to start.

As far as selling your house, when I sold my condo, we put a bunch of stuff (furniture, etc) in storage. It just makes the house look bigger.

swilphil, what I am pretty much doing is going through my items & trying to decide if I want each item to move to my new home with me. many items are not passing the test. With the children's thing, I am removing items that don't fit, toys that are broken and things that are never used. I still have a lot to do. We own well over 100 VHS tapes that no one ever watches. Some I'll keep, but most will probably go.

We're also pulling everything out & cleaning places that aren't cleaned often. We are doing under all of the bathroom sinks, the kitchen sink, the cabinets above the washer & dryer, etc. It feels so good to minimize.
