Decluttering Dilemma

9 years ago

When you are doing spring cleaning,
What do you find the easiest thing to do?
What's the most difficult?
So far I cleaned out my closet and threw away/donated half of my clothes.
I find that the hardest thing myself is to go through all the loose papers.
My husband has a habit for moving things and when we did some of our renos things ended up in boxes that I didn't bother to go through. Well it's time I did.
What's your decluttering dilemma and what suggestions do you have to make things easier?

burn it! http://www.burnrightproducts.com/album.php?albid=82

Best thing I ever did. Minimal smoke, cleaner air, easy to clean & portable. Now I burn trash, paper, cardboard, yard waste, in a super hot fire, into a small amount of ashes I can toss. Saves money & time. My neighbor got one too, he loved mine so much as it burns so clean and fast with minimal smoke.
