I'm in the process of reading "Minimalism: Essential Essays" by Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus (love them!). Anyways, Joshua says when he gives advice, he typically suggests two options. 1. "...the giant leap option, the dive-in-head-first option (get rid of everything, smash your TV, throw out all your stuff....).'' 2. "...second option is to take baby steps, and it works because it helps you build momentum by taking action."
When I started this decluttering process a year or so ago, I took baby steps. I think it was essential for me to start with baby steps because it allowed me to figure out the why, the how and work through the guilt and emotions of it all. But now I feel I'm ready to take the "giant leap" option since I'm on the tail-end of the decluttering process.
Are you doing the baby step approach or the giant leap approach? What is working for you?
