It wouldn’t work for me, it would just overwhelm me.
A friend says to take everything out of the room and just put back what you want in there. Then, you deal with the remainders by either putting the item in the room it should go in, and separate by discard, donate, and maybe. I get bogged down in the ‘maybe’ pile. Some would say put the ‘maybe’ items in a box and see if you miss it or forget it. I’m not sure about that.
I do know I get tired of tidying the same thing and realizing I will never use it. Sometimes it is about the memories, so I take a photo and then get rid of it. But, the obvious is usually so obvious you can’t even see it.
Some people might think if the room looks tidy, then it means you don’t have clutter. So, this might be a way to force themselves to rethink everything. It can be scary to loosen a tie, like it’ll be more of an annoyance someplace else than right here. Then again, would that be so bad?
I put sheets over things so I only have to deal with one sight at a time. I put a box in each room for things that belong elsewhere, so at least they are together. I also do look for things I definitely want to keep, not just things I want to go away. I will get there. Maybe not as fast as if I did big exiles, but I will get there.
Sometimes I do get in a mood and hit a group I am definitely over, and then I can get a bunch out of the house at once. Trying to do this makes me see lots of things can pile up, it’s not just objects. Many masses of something can hurt you. Yea, too much can be ‘uncomfortable’, but it could always be worse.
