Summary
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.
