My husband (who has never in his whole life been neat) just told me that he could “become addicted to all this decluttering.”
Apparently, he is now irritated by the disorganization inside his desk drawers and has started to organize them—in such a way that it hasn’t made a mess anywhere else.
I have found that it is easier to live in a decluttered home. It’s easier to find things, and to put things away. Even the kids are putting everything up.

If you are selling your home like we are, don’t worry about having to live in a neat/clean/decluttered home while your house is on the market: trust me, it’s great! Think of how pleasant staying in a hotel is. It’s very soothing to have only a few things to keep track of. And you still have your “stuff”: what do you think your furniture and your good china and the kids’ favorite toys are? And it still feels like “home”: your family and everything you really need is there.

So go ahead, declutter and stage all your rooms and put all that stuff into storage.
But beware, you may never want it all back!
