Before you start clearing the clutter, list what you
want to do with that room or area when it's cleared -
you need a clear goal to aim for.
Chunk down your clutter - focus on just one area or
room at a time, and focus on clearing it first. Don't
think 3 steps ahead - only when you know what and how
much you're keeping can you think about where and how
to store it.
Have more than two categories for your clutter - if
you only have 'to keep' or 'to throw away' the decision
about what to do with something is much harder.
Set yourself a deadline and reward yourself each time
you spend an hour or more clearing your clutter.
Remind yourself what your goal is each time you spend
time clearing the clutter - this will help re-motivate
you.
