Of all the decluttering advice I've ever found, the person who I keep coming back to -- and the only one who has actually made a difference in my house and my life -- is Dana K White. She is an incredibly creative person who can find a use for anything and loves all her stuff, but managed to figure out a five step process that actually helped her make decisions on what can leave.
And, if something is going to stay and not leave your home, where to put it.
She shares this five step process for free on YouTube. And it's amazing!!

Dana also has books for adults (I loved Decluttering at the Speed of Life) and a brand new book for kids (Winnie's Pile of Pillows) as well as a podcast which is great to have on in the background while you're washing the dishes. And decluttering coaches who will work with you in person or virtually.
But my very favorite thing is her One Hour Better series on YouTube because you can see people just like yourself tackle a difficult area in their house, make progress and only progress (never ever creating a bigger mess... so you can walk away at any time and you haven't made it worse), and STOP when the timer goes off after an hour.
They are super inspirational, and help you see the five steps in action.
Here are all of the One Hour Betters, and I'll come back and add more when she does them.
