Oh, I am having nightmares about these things after visiting my mother's house this winter. Because she doesn't want to get rid of anything and the place is dangerously cluttered and I'm afraid of ending up like her.
One piece of advice that turns up a lot about decluttering is that you should get the stuff out the door after deciding to get rid of it. Don't keep it around for ages and second-guess yourself. But now (thinking about stuff other than little plastic measuring cups) the thrift stores are closed. There's just the box of "I should get rid of it when conditions permit" cluttering up the living room until I tidy up and reshelve the books...
