I can’t declutter!

I know I’ve banged on a bit, but I did find Marie Kondo’s book an enormous help when I was faced with downsizing from a big 4 bed house to a two bed apartment. As well as practical advice, she is helpful in tackling the emotional aspect of decluttering, which I think is what is holding you back. I now find it quite easy to keep on top of my possessions.

I keep everything and it’s getting out of hand. I have good intentions and I look through all this stuff then put it all away again. I don’t know where to begin. Why am I such a hoarder?
Anyone else have this problem?
My mum was completely the opposite, always chucking my stuff out. Maybe that’s why I hang on to everything. Any fellow suffers, please help!
