One of my favorite ideas they share are to use a timer. Set it for 15 minutes and only tackle a little bit every day rather than try to clean out an entire room all at once. Grief can be exhausting, and sometimes we don't realize what a drain it is. So, although these decluttering instruction aren't written directly for widows, I think they apply far better than advice I've seen on other sites. Brilliant! And before you know it, your room will be brilliant, too!
