Challenges clearing clutter in your environment?

It is typically the overwhelm that prevents a person from tackling a purging job either in their home or office.  Getting started is really the hardest part. Tip:  Have a kitchen timer handy (go out an buy one if you don’t have one – the one on the over or microwave won’t be effective enough) and bring it to the area you are working in.  Set it for 20 minutes.  Yes, 20 minutes.  Start in one corner of the room and work from the top down (like you would have another choice on that) and have a large lawn trash bag next to you.  Work as fast as you can to throw out the trash.  You know, those items you forgot you saved and they are now obsolete, the broken thing that never made it into the garbage in the first place…get rid of them now.  If something doesn’t service you, then it needs to go. If it’s unused, unwanted, broken or ugly – it needs to go now.
