Is it possible to really change how I clean my house?

I’m answering your decluttering questions that were submitted at AskDanaKWhite.com

  • How do you apply the container concept for certain items that some people would tie/fold and others would let loose such as cables and linens?
  •  I just feel frozen and I don’t know how to decide what to tackle first. What are some suggestions to help my mind move forward?
  • How do I deal with decluttering under my daughter’s bed, where you can’t as easily see what is there?
  • How do you work with family members who get mad when you ask where they’d look for something first? My husband and both kids (9 and 6) HATE this question.
  • How do I figure out how to get things out that are A) still good, B) useful in this current season, and C) not necessarily something I have too much of?
  • Any tips for when the issue is actually getting things out of the house?  I live in Europe without a car and am limited to 30L of trash per week for my family of six.

    Hi Dana, I found your answer to the question about being in a small space but finding everything good & useful to be so helpful. However, I wanted to ask you my current burning question: how would you suggest modifying the “take it there now” process to accommodate a person with limited mobility? I can walk and climb stairs a limited amount each day, and I’m also a parent (of kids unable to participate in/help with the process), so I can’t afford to spend all of my “movement” in a day on “taking everything there now.” I often find this a huge roadblock to decluttering.
