Maybe you should decide to not do any laundry on one day a week and then use the time to clear out or off one little space.

Do not think that you will try to do that - decide, and then do it.
Breaking habits and attitudes can start a chain reaction.

Moving things out of a corner can unearth things you've been looking for for ages, things you didn't know you had, and a lot of dust and debris. Put the rubbish out in the dustbin and if anything is going to be donated clean it up and bag it ready to go - maybe even take it straight away - the fresh air will do you good.

Of course at first you will simply move most of the stuff to other piles, but you will find space, and with any luck it will become your new love and you will be able to get rid of the things which have been filling it. You do have to decide to change and then start work - nothing else will make a difference.
