Uphill Battle

I was feeling so positive about my progress with organizing & decluttering, but now I am feeling a bit deflated.  I just don't have much hope in my husband.  I have a LONG list of things I think he should part with, and I didn't put everything on that list because I know there are things he needs to hold onto for some reason.

There are about 20 items, and most of them require effort.  It isn't just a matter of dropping it off at Goodwill.  He needs to sell most of it.  We also have a huge amount of DVDs & VHS sitting in boxes that I just know he won't part with.  If it were up to me we would keep about 10-15 of our very favourites... but I know he will want to keep most of them.  

I want so badly to get everything really organized so the stuff we have is accessible and not hidden away. 

I wish he could see why we need to do this...

I think I'm going to have a similar problem with my husband.

Wow! Looking over your past few pictures is inspiring. I'm plowing away at mine one thing at a time. Maybe, you could try that approach with him....or toss it all in the attic (my fav. illusion of tidy, ha.)
