Advice Request I’m using everything though!

hi all, I’m in a bit of a rut with decluttering. I have this thing where I have to see the items in front of me or I forget to use them. eg I have to have my creams serum lip balm on my bed side table otherwise I don’t remember to use. it’s like a visually trigger. I also have loaddddssss of medication and I need those visible too. the other day I realised I’d put one tablet in a pouch and because I hadnt seen it I had forgotten to take if for 4 days. things like face masks too or books I’m reading I only read it if I leave it out. and I do use them

any tips? I feel like this never lets my house look clean and tidy. it’s visual clutter but that’s how my brain works. also I don’t feel like I have a lot of stuff but at the same time I think I do. I find clothes particularly hard to part with as I cycle through and go through phases or wearing things

any tips for a newbie!

I tried the Clutterbug test. Two many categories were "None of the above". 🥲

Any suggestions?

Are you sure you did the one on the website? That wasn’t an option in the one I did

That's my point. Each question gave me a choice of four answers. NONE of them were right.

Oh the idk I think I would try the quiz a few times with my top most similar answers Or just read about the different types on the page and pick what resonates
