Helping Others Declutter

Helping others declutter can be challenging, especially when they are emotionally attached to their belongings. One approach is to use the container concept, offering a designated space to keep sentimental items. For example, suggest creating a special box or shelf for journals and planners and selecting a few favorite ones to keep. This helps create limits and reduces the overwhelming feeling of getting rid of everything. Building trust and using a step-by-step process like the five-step decluttering method can also be helpful in guiding them through the process without judgment or pressure.
