There's
no perfect way to clutter bust.
The feeling of wanting to be perfect is
a way to avoid doing it.
A
recent client couldn't decide whether or not to donate something, sell
it on ebay, or give it away to someone she knew. She was caught up in
what would be the best course of action. She tried arguing all ways and
this was overwhelming and she gave up.
I said the process of clutter busting is loose. There's no ideal way to proceed. The way through is to look for the simplest solution. The one that will bring you relief now. Otherwise, you are still hanging on to something that is no longer serving you. It's continuing to bring you grief.
She saw how her need to be perfect was itself clutter. She decided donating was the easiest and simplest way for her.
