I wonder if there is something about the process of de-cluttering on your own that instills a longer term commitment? Having said that, I think watching a bunch of “Clean House” shows years ago helped me a lot. Much of the dialogue from the shows came back to me as I was attacking our house. Phrases like “it’s the memory, not the object that’s important”, and “when will you wear/use that thing” came to mind so often.
One of my pleasures in life is bargain hunting (hence all the junk), I have satisfied that need recently by always being on the look out for good deals on boxes and containers. If you just go out and buy what you need without a lot of shopping around, organizing a house could cost a small fortune.
