I don't believe there is a right or wrong way to begin to de-clutter ones life. I think for my home a gradual peeling away of the layers is going to work best. It's not just myself that needs to de-clutter, it's my wife and both kids as well. If it were just me, it would be fairly quick and painless. A great purge.
I have to be more sensitive to my families feelings and work more slowly towards this goal. I'll lead by example and start to purge my own clutter. I am far from innocent in the clutter problem here! I have years of books, sheet music, computer parts and clothes to go through. Don't even Ask about my tools!
Thursday evening I broached the subject with my wife, the wrong way! It lead to a rather heated discussion that did not end well. Friday evening, I appologized for my poor delivery of the message I was trying to convey and we had a good adult discussion about de-cluttering our home. It will begin this weekend with our closet and the spare room in the basement, or as I call it.......the disaster room!
This could be an eye opening weekend to just how much unessessary stuff we have.
