    It's called follow through. You're right. it is so satisfying. The next few times you walk through the front door - you'll feel it in the best way possible. And when someone leaves something there that does not belong...you just call their name and say "Honey, would you take that to your room, the garage, etc... I don't want it ti get broken or donated by mistake." Personally I have a donation bag by my front door ALL the time. Whenever I come across something I no longer want or does not fit, whatever, I take it directly to that donate bag. Don't think about it again. Love what you're doing - as the kids get older, it really will get a little easier. I promise. Thanks for your positive attitude. you're a great Mom and wife- never doubt it.

    I've watched this space get decluttered before and this time it looked so much easier. Reducing the inventory in any space makes resetting it faster and faster. A very satisfying watch. Now I need to go break out the vacuum cleaner, because my hall floor is a mess too.

    My son loved his rock tumbler and had it going constantly in our garage for about a year- he broke the band that came with it. He still uses it upon occasion and tries to fashion his own band to keep using it. He’s the 1/100 I guess.

    I once heard that it is actually finishing the project or task all the way through that gives you that motivated feeling and it’s so true! I try to remember that when I start a bunch of little tasks that it’s better to just carry one all the way through and then you’ll be more motivated to keep on going.

    When decluttering, I find that it helps to add the trip to the donation center to my calendar. That way I can plan my errands most efficiently. If I know I need to go to the bank, for example, I can schedule a stop at the donation center on the way there, since it's along the same route. Otherwise, I will get to the bank and think, "Darn, I could have dropped off those clothes today..."

    You can get some little hooks to hang the basket from since the screw holes won't work now (can you tell I wrote that before you found the white hook thing that was included?). In the future, a manual long-handled screwdriver would do the trick where the drill can't fit! A tip for hammering in the little nail things you couldn't reach with the white hook: get a block of wood or something and put it against the nails and hit the block of wood instead. Much easier to aim.

    You often need to go back there to reset. Besides the decluttering you've done, which helps enormously, you might need additional storage there. Besides the hooks you use for backpacks and the bins for shoes, coats, scarves, gloves also need a place. Maybe more hooks or small cubbies?

    It seems you have about one hook for each family member. I’d suggest assigning one hook to each person, then each have the space for one bag-item and one jacket-item. Hanging more would make it clunky and perhaps trigger wanting to put extra items away? I’m not sure the theory is sound, but worth a try 😊🤷‍♀️
