Summary
I'm answering some questions that were submitted at AskDanaKWhite.com. The general theme is that it's hard to declutter when circumstances aren't ideal. Lucky for us, the No Mess Decluttering Method works in any situation.
- We live in an older home with zero closets, not for clothes, nothing for linens. I am struggling so hard with “take it there now” when nothing seems to have a home that makes sense.
- Do you have any suggestions for preparing for a time when I know I’ll have a lower clutter threshold, but I also know will be not-forever?
- I've been stuck renovating, moving boxes from room to room, and living in a "war-zone". How do I declutter if I am stuck in the never-ending painting/sanding jobs with very little energy left?
- How do I give myself the advantage of having a decluttered home from the start with all the chaos that comes with a move?
