Debbi: welcome! Great that you are starting to do this.
You might want to start with a commitment of less than an hour. I started on my very cluttered garage promising 15 minutes a day. Almost every day it ended up being at least a half hour, but I felt like it was a huge success to exceed my goals. If I had promised myself an hour and fell short I would have felt as if I had failed.
What susan said - a b s o l u t e l y solid gold advice :-)
More important than actually making headway is to get you in a mindset where you can believe you can get this done. what Susan suggested is a great way to get there, especially for someone who is an uncluttering newbie and so has no previous experience upon which to base a sense of confidence that they can do this.
Hi Debbi, welcome :-)
If your kids have offered to help, why not take them up on it? More hands make light work, and it's so much more fun and easier with more people to help, as long as you can relinquish some of the control. They obviously know you could do with a hand, or they wouldn't have offered, so it doesn't sound like you need to be embarrassed (and if you act all 'matter of fact' about it all, I'm sure there wouldn't be an issue)? But I don't know your family, so I hope I've read the situation right :-)
Anyway, go for it, and just start, you'll feel fabulous and light when you get into it and can see space!
enjoy the experience!
