To get rid of clutter, I usually start on a small project. If I start with a small junk drawer and get it all cleaned out, I feel a sense of accomplishment that makes me want to do more. However, I do not jump into a big job yet. I go to work on another drawer, basket, or shelf.
When you take on such a daunting task, it is easy to get frustrated. Make it a 30 (or 15) minute limit per area. Stay in one space and try not to wander from room to room. I usually will have a basket with me for stuff that needs to go to another room. Everything else that has no home or no use is immediately put in a give away pile.
