For many of us, the hardest part of decluttering is getting started. How many times have you looked at your bulging closet or your cluttered kitchen cabinets and wondered where to begin? Even if you set out with the very best intentions, these initial feelings of overwhelm are enough to stall your efforts (and don't worry, it happens to the best of us).
Rather than let it put a pause on your progress, however, a good trick is to reframe the way you look at decluttering as a whole. Instead of starting with a huge pile of clutter that needs to be painstakingly filtered through one item at a time, why not reverse the process and flip it on its head, starting with the end goal — a pile of things you actually want to keep.
