I tried the Temptation Method to finally unpack the boxes I'd been ignoring after a stressful house move – I'm relieved it worked so well

I moved house recently and I'll admit I entirely ran out of steam with the unpacking. That was until I tried the Temptation Method and finally sorted out the boxes I'd been burying my head in the sand about.

I had just moved from a spacious Victorian end terrace with three bedrooms and two reception rooms to a small house with open-plan living and two bedrooms. The intensive decluttering and downsizing I'd had to do whilst packing had left me with complete emotional burnout and led, therefore, to procrastination for the final bits of unpacking.
