You have been meaning to sell that stuff for months. Maybe years. But it
is still sitting there, taking up space and mental energy, and nothing has
happened. This week, Janet M. Taylor sits down with decluttering expert Dana K. White to tackle one of the most common reasons people get stuck in the decluttering process: the question of whether to sell or simply let it go.
Dana is the creator of the No Mess Decluttering Process and the author of
Decluttering at the Speed of Life, a Wall Street Journal bestseller. She is a
speaker, podcaster, YouTuber, and the founder of Decluttering Coaches, where she trains and certifies coaches in her unique process. She has helped millions of people get unstuck and get their homes under control.
In this conversation, Dana shares her own story of how an obsession with
selling on eBay was the very thing that filled her home with clutter in the
first place. She explains why the idea of selling someday is really a form of
procrastination, how to use eBay completed listings to get an honest reality check on what your items are actually worth, and why the time and effort involved in selling is often far more than people expect.
Dana also walks through the hero complex that keeps donations sitting in
the house long past their usefulness, how to shift your thinking so that
donating feels like a win rather than a loss, and the one item experiment that helps you decide once and for all whether selling is worth pursuing. She closes with a practical tip for using Facebook Marketplace as a real-time reality check during the decluttering process.
Janet shares personal stories from her own experience selling a dollhouse
and a Noah's Ark, attempting to consign designer suits, and the lessons she learned along the way.
This episode also includes Organizing with Janet, Taylor's Tip Time, and
a Toss It Tuesday challenge to tackle that corner, shelf, or box you have been putting off.
