You Need a No Nonsense Friend

If it is really difficult for you to get rid of things, you need a no nonsense friend.  This type of friend can be objective about your clutter and help you get rid of it.  Believe it or not, you can be that type of friend to others, because their clutter means nothing to you either.  This might be as simple as offering to "take care" of something she/he is having a hard time decluttering where you then trash it out of their sight and property.  It can be as intense as spending a day with the person who is decluttering, sitting nearby, talking through what's needed and giving her/him "permission" to throw something away.

I have been on the objective side, and I've also been on the receiving end of an objective friend.  Both ways, you benefit and bond.
