I'd like to tidy up the entire planet. I would go anywhere if there were something that needs tidying.

My head was full of tidying tips, and I had complete, albeit misguided, confidence that I could tidy any place.

I recommend tidying by category, not by place. For example, instead of deciding that today you'll tidy a particular room, set goals such as 'clothes today, books tomorrow.'

Being packed all the time, even when not in use, must feel something like going to bed on an empty stomach.

Have gratitude for the things you're discarding. By giving gratitude, you're giving closure to the relationship with that object, and by doing so, it becomes a lot easier to let go.

To truly cherish the things that are important to you, you must first discard those that have outlived their purpose. And if you no longer need them, then that is neither wasteful nor shameful. Can you truthfully say that you treasure something buried so deeply in a cupboard or drawer that you have forgotten its existence?
