Sometimes it's difficult to muster up the enthusiasm and energy to do what needs to be done to pare down, declutter, toss, donate, etc. That's when I turn to a favorite book, a podcast, or another resource that will MOTIVATE me to do the work. IMHO, it's not that difficult to know HOW to declutter. What is difficult is to tap into the proper MOTIVATION so I'll dive in and really enjoy it! So without further ado, here are our favorite resources that motivate us to declutter...
