      Great post. I know exactly what you mean. It took me MONTHS before I got mine under control. Here are a few tips that worked well for me.

      #1. Be ruthless when deciding what to keep and what to let go of. It’s the only way to succeed at decluttering.

      #2. Look at everything with fresh eyes. What made sense to hold onto five or ten years ago may not fit in with your lifestyle today. Tastes and fashions change. Technology changes. Kids grow up. Relationships change.

      #3. Every time you leave a room, take something with you that doesn’t belong there and put it away.

      #4. Pick off small declutter jobs. It could be getting a diaper bag organised so you’re always good to go. It could be clearing out a drawer or closet. Just keep picking small areas to work on and it builds momentum. You’ll achieve quick and easy victories and start to feel the benefit of decluttering.

      #5. Time for a declutter blitz. Once you’ve decluttered a few closets and drawers, you’ll have some room to work with. You’ll also have a good idea of how much time it takes. So pick a room and a time and blitz it!
